Recently, it occurred to me that we usually use (or that at least I use..) the epithets on their own. For example {petaQ ghaH}, {petaQvam yIbuSHa'}, {ghe''or jaHjaj yIntaghvam}, etc. But could we use an epithet as the first noun in a noun-noun construction, in the same way that we use the {baS} in {baS 'In} ? Could we say for example {petaQ 'orwI'vam} for "this petaQ pilot" ? Or is it that saying {petaQ 'orwI'vam} would actually mean "this petaQ person pilot", in the case where the {petaQ} word "includes" the concept of the "person" ? And another example could be {ghe''or jaHjaj petaQ ghomvam} for "may this group (which consists of petaQ persons) go to hell". Would that be correct, or would again the meaning be "may this petaQ person group go to hell" ? If not for anything else, because I know of one petaQ pilot, and I'd like to know how to wish appropriately all the nice things I'd like to wish.. ~ Qa'yIn
