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.
