Is there any chance that 'oqranD, by saying the "beyond X", was describing an exception with regards to the use of {Hay}, as compared with the rest of the similar nouns ? (Dung, bIngDaq, retlh, etc..)
Because I too (or is it "me too" ?), would use the {Hay} exactly as you did, i.e. placing it last. But this quote from 'oqranD makes me wonder, whether there is here an exception at work.
/I too./ I think he was just explaining how area nouns work, in case we weren't sure or were thinking the word was an adjective. Maybe *Hay* is more restrictive than other area nouns: sometimes you might use the word *DungDaq* to mean /upward,/ but Okrand might be saying that you don't use *Hay* all by itself; you wouldn't say *HayDaq* to mean an unspecified /to the beyond./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
