"meteor('s) surface site"
I wonder... can {ghor} "surface (of planet)" also refer to the surface of
the meteor itself, or only to planets - and nothing else?
I suppose I could go with a relative clause:
Daq'e' muppu'bogh chunDab
the site that the meteor struck/impacted
Daq muppu'bogh chunDab'e'
the meteor that struck/impacted the site
Of these, I still prefer my first attempt: {mupmeH Daq} "impact site". Or
should this be {muplu'meH Daq}? (Using {-meH} and {-lu'} always confuses me!)
