I presume you were going for the "scattered all about" feel?
That's one of Krankor's Type 5 nouns modifying another noun. I don't like it.
I don't buy it. {Sut qIj tuQtaHbogh loDpu'} (which kinda ruins the cute
phrasing of it, but not everything is going to work out like that. You could
use instead {Sut qIj loDpu'} "Men of Black Clothes.")
Hmmm . . . maybe extremely formal wear like what the Men in Black wear would
be {Sut'a'} . . .
