Last year at Oshkosh, I saw a miniature replica of a B-17 bomber.
Definitely a {velqa'}.
Meanwhile, it was 1/3 scale and it flew. Not as a remotely controlled model. A guy sat in it and flew it.
In this case, I think even in English I would not says this is a "miniature" replica. It's smaller than the original, but miniature makes me think you can hold it in your hands.
Anyway, it’s a replica, but it’s not tiny,
You answer your own question it's a {velqa'}, but it's not {nu'} (and probably even not {mach}).
own B-17 to go by, he designed it by scaling UP a much smaller plastic model, so it’s really an oversized replica of a miniature replica…
Okay, that's paradox in this case. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/Type1NounSuffixes
