Hi there, I'm using the gerenshuge of Lion's tooth in an alteration, and i was wondering if i had the translation correct... would it be:
kam'a nla
or
nla'a kam
as i recall, in gerenshuge, the exact syntax would be tooth of the lion, right, thus it'd be the first?
kam nla'a - tooth lion's, sort of. Following the pattern of Meylo Rensh'a (Eye of the People - written there with eye first, then people, then the possessive 'a indicator).
Also, you'll note the Shard theater is Shoan a Sidelkuloa - House of Actors. In this case, it's read just like that. The word order remains the same if you use the 'a possessive indicator (just another way of expressing possession in Gerenshuge) -- it could be written Shoan Sidelkuloa'a and would be understood to mean the same thing (though perhaps one way seems more formal?).
Kinda make sense?
