[tlhIngan Hol] how would you understand {'eladya' DaqDaq} ?

[Jeffrey Clark]

“Region of Greece” feels more natural. Using “site” like that is usually couple by an event or specific thing — “the site of the battle over the ancient cat”, “the site where the oracle of Delphi was located”. So the English of be second one feels… odd.

Klingon-wise, since ‘eladya’ is a definable place, using ‘eladya’ Daq feels redundant in that context, but it doesn’t really jump out at me in the same way that the English phrasing does.
