{mebpa'mey} is in KGT. {muDDuj} is, I believe, a convention on this list.
Some will say that you can't create compound nouns (TKD 3.2.1) like this; we
can only use what we're given. TKD describes them, but doesn't give
instructions on forming them (or prohibit their productive formation). What
do you think?

{chuvmey}, the noun meaning "leftovers," is only a grammatical term. It
refers to words that are not nouns or verbs (TKD 2, 5). As far as we know,
we cannot use this word for food.
