English to Klingon Translation Question

Hi,

I'm trying to translate the name "4Runner" as in a Toyota 4Runner into Klingon.

>From what I can tell the verb run is "qet" and with the suffix "-wI" to make the noun "qetwl" for runner.
The number 4 is "los" and so the whole word would be "losqetwl".

Does this sound right? What I'm wondering is that the number 4 is not really meant in the counting sense and so I'm not sure if the "los" should precede or follow the noun.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Don
