In one or two of the SkyBox cards, we see samples of apposition, referencing a
thing with two different labels. You just need to put them back to back.
DIvI' toy'taH wo'rIv, *mogh* puqloD wa'DIch.
Worf, eldest son of Mogh, serves the Federation.

Try thinking less with nouns and more with verbs. After all, I don't know if
{jangwI'} means "answer" or "one who answers."
chojangmo' choquvmoH.
Because you answer me, you honor me.
Your answers honor me.
