"Giver birthday" doesn't work.
No, there's no word for obsterician (that we know of). Don't look for a quick
word; if you've got a context, say it's a doctor {Qel} and explain it once,
then just call him or her {Qel} from then on. That's the easiest way. It's
probably the best.
At first I was inventing something like {boghlI'ghach Qel}, but then I
realized that an obsterician is also {boghta'ghach Qel} and {boghrupghach
Qel}. But that's okay; I wouldn't have used this phrase anyway, because it's
really a hindsight idea.
