thank you for explaining this ! I just learned something new, something I hadn't realized so far !
we have the {'Ip lulay'bogh} "the oath which they swore". and then we have the {HevwI' tuqnIgh}. So, we put them together, forming a noun-noun construction thus getting "house member of the receiver of the oath which they swore". this is beautiful !
I hadn't realized that we could take a noun, entangle it with {-bogh} and use it in a noun-noun construction.
jIQuch !
however, a new question just appeared in my mind, so let me ask you..
instead of the {'Ip lulay'bogh HevwI' tuqnIgh}, could we write {'Ip'e' lulay'bogh HevwI' tuqnIgh}, or would this be considered a violation of the rule that "in noun-noun constructions only the last noun can take type-5 suffixes" ?
Yes, it would. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
