<div dir="auto">If I want to say noun 2 of noun 1, I say N1
N2.<br>
<br>
Now suppose that N1 is the object of a {-bogh} phrase (which
has a subject too), and suppose that I want to say N2 of N1.<br>
<br>
Normally, I'd write {N1'e' Vbogh subject N2}, but the
problem is that we can't have the {-'e'} on the first noun
of a noun-noun construction.<br>
<br>
So, now, the question is this:<br>
<br>
If I write {N1 Vbogh subject N2}, and the context is clear,
can this phrase be used to mean "N2 of N1"? Or the fact that
we can't place an {-'e'} on the N1, excludes any such
interpretation?<br>
<br>
And I'll write an example:<br>
<br>
yoD chenmoHpu'bogh tlhIngan rItlh lIngqa'meH nov, nIDpu'.<br>
<br>
"the alien has tried to reproduce the paint of the shield
which was created by the klingon"<br>
<br>
If the context is clear, would this be a valid way to
express the english sentence? Or is it that the only way for
the klingon sentence to match the english one, is for it
(the klingon one) to have the {-'e'} on the {yoD} something
which is not allowed?</div>

<p>Are you asking for grammatical validity or an opinion on whether
what you said is clear? It's perfectly grammatical and not at all
understandable.</p>
<p>Don't put <b>-'e'</b> where it's not allowed.<br>

<p><b>yoD chenmoHpu' tlhIngan. yoD rItlh lInqa'pu' nov 'e' nID.</b><br>
