I'll just put in my two bits' worth of comment here and say that normally
two stative verbs don't modify one noun at the same time. I'd immediately
recast {be'Hompu' ngeD chech} as {ngeDbogh be'Hompu' chech} "drunk girls who
are easy" or {ngeDbogh be'Hompu' 'ej chechbogh} "girls who are drunk and who
are easy". While there's no canon that says {be'Hompu' ngeD chech} is
illegal, there are examples in KGT that at the very least suggest that it
might be: {SuDbogh Dargh 'ej wovbogh} "yellow tea" (literally, "tea which is
{SuD} and light"), instead of the expected ?{Dargh SuD wov}.
Paul's already commented on the use of {ngeD}. I'll add one more thing: It's
probably best not to use {be'Hom} here, as that brings to my mind a girl in
the non-slang sense of the word: a minor or a child, a girl who has not yet
come of age. You could easily say {be'pu'} instead of {be'Hompu'} and not
lose any meaning.
