While I cannot argue with MO's own usage, I do find such a compound
construction obtuse. For a long time, I did not employ punctuation when
writing in Klingon. Some of you complained that this made my messages too
difficult to understand. Now, I challenge us: logh-Hop-Hut tengchaH needs
hyphens to clarify that it is a compound structure, a single name of a
tengchaH.
