/Additional reason/ is *latlh meq.*

/Because of this thing/ is *Dochvammo'.*

Substitute /additional reason/ in for /thing:/ *latlh meqvammo'*/because 
of this additional reason./

Don't get confused by English (or Greek!) word order. The /because of/ 
and /this/ apply to the entire phrase /additional reason./ There is no 
independent phrase /this additional/ here, for instance.
