(Qov, reporting on qep'a' 2015, 8/05/2015): I asked [Okrand] about how
we would describe someone’s right hand. I said I would say {nIHwIj
ghop} "the hand of my right side" and he said "I would do that too,"
making a dissatisfied face about the alternative {nIH ghopwIj} "my
hand of the right side". I asked "or are {nIH} and {poS} like {tlhop}
and {‘em}, taking the pronoun rather than the possessive suffix?" but
he felt that {nIHwIj} was correct.

one needs to stand at the location of my left, and the other needs to
stand at the location of my right
