This is a good example of a question mark next to a noun, (something
which had been discussed here some time ago).

> beyHom bey bey'a' jachtaH latlh tlhInganpu'.  (S31)

Is this an example of nouns in apposition ? Because if it is,
according to what had been discussed here some time ago, then {beyHom}
{bey} {bey'a'} should all be the same (one with the other). But
obviously they aren't.

The problem is, that in contrast to what is happening with the {Hoch},
where {Hoch jaj} necessarily means "each day", there is no similar
rule with regards to the {latlh}.

So, if we had {latlh jaj vISIQlaH}, then someone could understand this
to be either "one more day he is able to endure", or "additional days
he is able to endure".
