rap = be the same
logh'e' ngaSbogh juHDaj = (this is a noun phrase ) the space his house
contains
logh'e' ngaSbogh lup DujHom = (another noun phrase) the space his shuttle
contains
je' = (conjunction) this joins the two noun phrases
Literally, the space his house contains and the space his shuttle contains
are the same.
The hard part of this is that sufix -bogh. It can be a hard one to grasp.
Capt. Krankor wrote a great article in one of the issues of HolQeD,
I am sorry I dont remember the issue.
