Mine: *HeySel HoS bIQ'a' qoD Duj*
Yours: *bIQ'a' qoD HeySel HoS Duj*
I always find your noun-nouns to be ordered strangely. I wonder if it's
something to do with the way Greek differs from English.
Mine is a ship. An ocean's interior ship. An ocean's interior ship of
atomic power.
Yours is a ship. A atomic power ship. An atomic power ship of the
ocean's interior.
Mine suggests that, of the various sorts of submarine there may be,
we're talking about the nuclear-powered kind.
Yours suggests that, of the various sorts of nuclear-powered ships there
may be, we're talking about the underwater kind.
