And as such one would expect it to follow the rules given in Okrand's

Note that this SHOULD be (according to the interview) {ghorgh pa'wIj
vIchegh} or {ghorgh pa'wIjDaq vIchegh}.

of the primary structures of the language upon which much canon was based.
Perhaps we should pester Okrand to explain the inconsistency?
