*be' loD je paq* - *the book of the woman and the man*
*be' paq, juH qach je* - *the book and the house of the woman* or *the book of the woman and the house*
I suppose context will clarify and, if not, we could say something like *be' paq, juH qachDaj je* (*the book of the woman and her house*).</pre>

<p>Yes, context will clarify.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">But what about *'op* or *Hoch*? In my last text I wanted to say *Some organizations, shops and churchs*. I think in English like in Spanish or German you would probably understand that I mean *Some organizations, some shops and some churchs*, but if I say: *'op DIvI', malja', chIrgh je*, does it also work in Klingon or must I repeat *'op*: *'op DIvI', 'op malja', 'op chIrgh je*?

<p>It's also ambiguous. In English, and I assume in Spanish and
German, <i>some organizations, shops, and churches</i> can mean <i>some
organizations, but also shops in general and churches in
general,</i> or it could mean <i>some organizations, some
shops, and some churches.</i> In Klingon the <b>'op</b> will do
the same thing. If you want to be absolutely clear, repeat it.<br>
