}I also prefer bIQ'a' yavDaq over bIQ'a' ravDaq. The reason is: I think of
}{rav} as the floor of a building. {yav} means "ground", but I like it better.

}In the original post, I think you have followed Dr. L. Schoen's example of
}using {Hatlh} for "country". I think {Hatlh} means "countryside". Here I
}prefer {Sep} (see KGT). For "state/province" I use {yoS} (again, KGT).
This reminds me, during qep'a' wejDIch a remember a tlhIngan Hol speaker
from Denmark, saying something like {bIr puHmaj} or {puHvamDaq ...}. Works
well enough.
