I was trying to convey "great table".

The <maH> was in my thought process,
it's even on my hand-written copy.
Guess it didn't make it to the screen.
HIvqa' veqlargh!

I did not state this, sorry, but in my thought process,
I assumed there would be one person performing
the ritual, but many inattendance.

So the singualr "priest" would be "sacrificing" the <beb'ot>
and then give the juice to the plural "congregation" to partake.
I probably need to state that somewhere.

hmm... How would <QunlI' chobelmoH> be taken otherwise?
Yes, I, naHQun have many followers.  I used the wrong prefix.
I usually do think "you" and "ya'll" (I'm from Texas).
It appears I was thinking "you" when I wrote that sentance.
