I assume this is the version of Hokey Pokey sung by MO himself.  So far on
this listserv I have only seen {poS} and {nIH} with N4s affixed.

But, in that each is a Noun, why can they not stand alone in possessing a
Noun in the second position.  This results in:  {SopmeH poS ghop lo'be'
tlhIngan SuvwI'vetlh}.  Must we use {poSDaj} instead?
