{bIQ'a' 'ev tIng HeH}
"border of the western ocean"? West-coast?
I'd translate it as "the ocean's western coast". So, for example, {'atlantIq bIQ'a' 'ev tIng HeH} would overlap with {'amerI'qa' SepjIjQa' chan bIQ'a' HeH}. Useful canonical examples: {veng chanDaq jIwam.} = "I hunt east of the city." {chan vengDaq jIwam.} = "I hunt in the city to the east." MO: The "city's east," meaning "the eastern part of the city," would make use of <yoS> "area, district": <veng chan yoS> (literally "city area-eastward district" or "city's eastward-area's district")."

We already have /beach:/ *bIQ'a' HeH.* This will often work for /coast/ [...] We do? Please remind me of the source on this one.

While we're discussing *bIQ'a' HeH*, and to confirm if I'd be using it correctly, how would you all interpret:
{bIQ'a' 'ev tIng HeH}
"border of the western ocean"? West-coast?
Don't know if Marc's painted himself into a corner with turning "row your boat" into "propel your ship", but a {vo'wI'} can mean a few things. [...] Did he translate that? I don't remember this. What is the source?
I don't think he translated that. This phrase comes from a comment by KCD executive producer Keith Halper about the "Warriors Anthem": "The literal translation is always skewed a bit, so if you send him [Okrand] 'Row, row, row your boat,' you'll get back 'Propel, propel, propel your craft.'
