How do I distinguish between saying a "tea cup" and a "cup of tea"
(not quite the same thing)? <Dargh HIvje'> refers to the cup (KGT 96).
But what if I want to refer to the tea? That is, I have a cup of tea,
it is a *cup* of tea that I have and not, say, a bottle of tea.
<Dargh'e' HIvje'>
<HIvje'Daq Dargh>
<Dargh wa' HIvje'> vs. <wa' Dargh HIvje'> ???
Thanks.
