I have no idea whether one of the inherently locative nouns are allowed to be the first noun, but it doesn't break any stated rule we have. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

The source of my confusion, has been the fact that {poS} and {leQ} are locatives, as for instance {bIng}, {Dung} etc. Locatives aren't always to be placed second in a noun-noun construction ? mayqel qun'noS On Oct 1, 2017 15:46, "SuStel" <sustel(a)trimboli.name> wrote: > *poS leQ.* *poS* is a noun, so this is a noun-noun construction: *left-side > switch.* As always, the second noun is the head noun, and the first noun > narrows down its type. > > > > -- > SuStel > http://trimboli.name > > > > *From: *mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> > *Sent: *Sunday, October 1, 2017 8:26 AM > *To: *tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org > *Subject: *[tlhIngan Hol] poS and nIH > > > > If I want to say "left button", do I say {poS leQ}, or {leQ poS} ? > > > > qunnoq > > > > _______________________________________________ > tlhIngan-Hol mailing list > tlhIngan-Hol(a)lists.kli.org > http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org > >

poS leQ. poS is a noun, so this is a noun-noun construction: left-side switch. As always, the second noun is the head noun, and the first noun narrows down its type. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name From: mayqel qunenoS Sent: Sunday, October 1, 2017 8:26 AM To: tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org Subject: [tlhIngan Hol] poS and nIH If I want to say "left button", do I say {poS leQ}, or {leQ poS} ? qunnoq

Although the {leQ poS}, as well as the {leQ nIH}, feel more to me as "left of the button", and "right of the button", rather than "left button", and "right button". mayqel qun'noS On Oct 1, 2017 15:26, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> wrote: > If I want to say "left button", do I say {poS leQ}, or {leQ poS} ? > > qunnoq >
