Kordite's Metal Things
I have a small business I call Kordite's Metal Things. I cast pins and weapons
in aluminum. Anyway, I want to say it in tlhIngan Hol.
My first thought was:
qorDayt Dochmey baS
In this case, baS <metal> is placed as if it were an adjective. This is not
gramatically proper if it were a sentence or a phrase but since it is a proper
name, of sorts, I thought it would be acceptable as such.
If it had to be a sentance, I'm looking at:
baS bIH qorDayt Dochmey'e'
Translated "As for Kordite's things, they are metal." I haven't been paying
attention to the recent "made of metal" debate so I don't know if this has
already been covered.
What do you think? I prefer qorDayt Dochmey baS on a business card, it's
shorter and, since it's a name, everyone should be able to figure it out.
Especially since it will be in english at the top of the card.
