[Tlhingan-hol] Garth of Izar

[De'vID]

quljIb:

Consider TKD 3.4 (the noun-noun construction): "The translation of two
nouns combined in this way... would be N2 of the N1." "Garth of Izar"
sounds more natural to English ears than "Izar-Garth".

Consider also that the translation might not be direct. For example, a
loose translation of {qIrq tera'ngan} might be "Kirk of Earth".
