I don't think {-'a'} feels like the right tool for the job here. The
Great Red Spot isn't particularly important; it's just big. Recall
{veH tIn} "great barrier". When it was named, it wasn't the most
prominent among many, so the {bo'Dagh'a'/bo'DaghHom} "big scoop/
little scoop" example doesn't apply.
Come to think of it, the Spot actually isn't all that red, either.
It's essentially just {DIngtaHbogh 'eng tInqu'} a really big spinning
cloud.
