Could you write an example ?

Any example would be contrived and won't explain my feelings any further.

And suppose it's used literally; someone sees kahless being made of
light (he's a god after all..).

Qun ghaHbe'chu'. tlhIngan SuvwI''a' quvqu' ghaH.

Would you use {qeylIS, tamghaywIj} or
{qeylIS, tamghaywI'} ?

tamghay ghaHbe' je qeylIS. chaq tamghay tlhuD. chaq qeylIS Dech tamghay. chaq ghaH cha'.
tamghay qeylIS vIleghchugh, ghaytan jollu'lI' 'e' vIchov.

And of course, the script writer says, that you *have* to use these
two words in apposition; i.e. no recasting, no rephrasing,

That's cheating. As someone who actually has found myself in that sort of situation, I can assure you that the script writer has no such power.

'utqu'chugh, jIjatlh «qeylIS tamghay!»
