Assuming that {qamchIyDaq 'uQ'a'} is the original title and "Feast at Qam-Chee" is just a translation, what if it is the translation that is wrong, exactly because of that (in)famous ungrammaticality?
The other theory is that there is a word omitted in the title, which was originally {qamchIyDaq qaS 'uQ'a'}.
I've had it argued against me that the omitted word was after the full title, as in *qamchIyDaq 'uQ'a' [Soplu'].* But I like Michael's speculation. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
