That would seem to read "I am Worf of the son of Mogh." The whole thing I'm
going for is avoiding the N-N apposition which looks just like possession. If
I say
verengan jagh parwI' ghaH
it means "He is the hater of the enemy of the Ferengi." It cannot mean "He is
the enemy of the Ferengi, the hater," or "He is the Ferengi, the hater of the
enemy." These would need to be, in turn;
verengan jagh ghaHbogh parwI''e' ghaH
verengan ghaHbogh jagh parwI''e' ghaH
This, as charghwI' pointed out, is not true apposition, but I believe it is as
close as we can come.
