ok, listen.

Recently, a little bird informed me of the tnk {Dargh HIvje' jengva' je}, for "cup and saucer".

After I thanked the bird, feeding it a few 'Iw breadcrumbs, I begun to wonder..

Doesn't the {Dargh HIvje' jengva' je}, mean "tea, cup, and saucer" ?

In another context, it might. That's not what it means here, though.

If the intention behind the obscure {Dargh HIvje' jengva' je} is to actually mean "tea (cup and saucer)", i.e. "(cup and saucer) of tea", then how the ghe''or can the {Dargh HIvje' jengva' je} be interpreted as {Dargh (HIvje' jengva' je)} ?

It's intended to be parsed as {(Dargh HIvje'), (jengva') je} "(tea)cup and saucer".

I would expect for "tea cup and saucer" to be {Dargh HIvje' Dargh jengva' je}.

That would be like saying "teacup and teasaucer", which is fine (if a little redundant).
