If in speech there is a special tone to show when {X Y} means "Y which is X" and not "Y of X", it may (ask Okrand) be an idea to put a mark between the words to show this in writing, as in the book name "paq'batlh".
First, the apostrophe in {paq'batlh} is an archaic form of writing and is wrong according to today's rules. The book of honor is {batlh paq} To distinguish by speaking aloud, I wouldstress the word like this: {pIqarD HOOD} "picard's captain" {PIQARD HoD} "Captain Picard" But you want this in a written form. Since Klingon was intended as a spoken language only in the first place, I doubt we would get a satisfyaing answer to this. I suggest resolving such ambiguouties by adding some context: DaHjaj muSuch HoDwI'. pIqarD 'oH pongDaj'e'. reH pIqarD HoD vIghom 'e' vItIv. DaHjaj muSuch pIqarD HoD. ghawran 'oH pongDaj'e'. pIqarD ra' 'e' tIv ghawran HoD. etc. -- Lieven L.
