Me? Well, {'Iv}, {je'laH}, and {yaS} are all spelled wrong (as is
"grammar"!), and you need a space between {'Iv} and {puq}. But this is an
example of a situation which is hotly debated around here. Should {'Iv} be
able to function in a noun-noun fashion? The answer is not known. My own
instincts scream "No way!"
