SuStel alluded to constructions like this earlier:
I mean, I get it: you're thinking of legh 'ej qIp as a kind of compound verb. Kind of like The child [sees and hits] the officer. And we have a couple of canonical examples of doing things like that. Here, the Klingon is mirroring the English "hunter-killer probe", as though "hunt-and-kill" were one verb.
Ok, now I understand. Thanks. So, the thing I understand from this thread is that in a string of {-bogh}s, the noun should be added after the first {-bogh}. I'll regard the {romuluSngan Sambogh and HoHbogh nejwI'} a special-because-matlh-said-so case. -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
