Ok, so that should be {pemHov yoD vIje'ta' tuj muDmo'}.
Can anyone suggest a way for me to understand/remember the way to order
two nouns? I've read section 3.4 over & over, but I still keep messing
that up.

yup. What's Klingon for "type-o"?
I like ghunchu'wI''s suggestion, so I'll say
{Do' yavDujwIj tujchoHbe'moH jan}

ghunchu'wI' suggests:
{cha' gho'e' Dechbogh *nylon ghaj pemHov yoD.}
I took me a moment to figure out that {gho} doesn't need {-mey} since it
has {cha'}, but now I get it.

{qat} is much better. I would have used it if I'd found it.

I did something right! I did something right! I jump up and down, I skip
up and down the hall, I get strange looks, I clear my throat, sit down,
and look very serious.

(You use the same device I describe on your car. Your car is black.
Your car gets very hot as soon as the sun shines.) Am I right?
