In a noun-noun construction, when introducing a preceding quantifier such as {'op} or {Hoch}, is it better to put it in front of the whole phrase as in a) below, or in front of the second element, as in b)? In this example, I am trying to say "Some Klingon sentences", would that be: a) {'op tlhIngan Hol mu'tlheghmey} or b) {tlhIngan Hol 'op mu'tlheghmey} Sentence a) could be misinterpreted as "sentences of some Klingon languages". This is also the reason why I am tending to choose b). - André
