<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I too, like much more the solution of {Hoch vIghro' mutmey}, which you suggest.
And in the past, I've though of placing the {Hoch} in the first
position of a N-N-N construction, but here is another thing that
confuses me.
At the {Hoch vIghro' mutmey}, doesn't the {Hoch} <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>have<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> to act <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>only<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>
on the {vIghro'} ? Doesn't the meaning <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>have<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> to be "the species of
each cat" ?</pre>

<p>No. In the rules of Klingon, almost any time you see the word <i>noun</i>,<i>
</i>you can read it as <i>noun phrase.</i> <b>vIghro' mutmey</b>
is a noun phrase. So in the noun-noun construction <b>Hoch
vIghro' mutmey,</b> the first noun is <b>Hoch,</b> and the
second "noun" is <b>vIghro' mutmey,</b> a noun phrase.<br>
