<div>1) The gloss for <b>qay'</b> is "be a problem, be a hassle".
The use of "be" in the gloss suggests it might be intended as a
stative verb, though I don't think it's ever been used either
adjectivially or with a <b>-bogh</b> so I can't say for sure.
So you can probably just get away with <b>ghu' qay'</b>.</div>

<p>I see no problem at all with <b>ghu' qay'.</b><br>

<div>2) <b>wej qay'bogh ghu'</b> feels wrong to me. Are there
examples where an N-N construction or a number-N phrase is
interrupted by an intervening <b>-bogh</b> clause, <b>A (Vbogh
B)</b>? In this case, <b>qay'</b> isn't transitive, so it's
not likely someone would get confused and interpret the <b>wej</b>
as an object. But splitting the construction like that feels...
awkward. It might not be strictly ungrammatical (or it might be)
but stylistically it's kind of jarring.</div>

<p>I have no problem with this either, and I don't find it jarring.
TKD tells us that when you construct a relative clause, that
clause with its head noun is treated as if it were itself just a
noun. If <b>qay'bogh ghu'</b> is <i><b>foo,</b></i> then <b>wej
<i>foo</i> </b>is completely legal.</p>
<p>How many <b>qay'bogh ghu'</b> do you have? <b>wej qay'bogh
ghu'.</b><br>
</p>
<p>mayqel is once again probing the limits of noun ordering and
scopes, and the answer here is the same as always: we don't have
enough data to answer.<br>
