I think you made a dictionary lookup error: <bID> is "half". "hand" is the
next word down: <ghop>.

You're right that you just stick the nouns together, but you got them
backwards. The "posessor" goes first, and the "posessee" goes second. See
TKD 3.4 for a full discussion.

qeylIS ghop - "Khaless' hand" or "The Hand of Khaless".
