&gt; &gt; I&#39;d argue that Borg ngogh would be sufficient, however; Borg ngogh&#39;a&#39; would suggest that it was remarkable even by Borg Cube standards</p>
<p>QeS &#39;utlh:<br>
&gt; My counter-argument would be that {-&#39;a&#39;} applies only to the word {ngogh}, not the whole phrase, and the {Borg ngogh&#39;a&#39;} certainly is remarkable by the standards of what usually constitutes a {ngogh}. The only canon examples of it to date refer to pillows, loaves of bread, chocolate and building bricks, and the Borg cube beats all of them by a huge margin.</p>

<p>That&#39;s how I read it, i.e., as {[Borg] [ngogh&#39;a&#39;]} not {[Borg ngogh][&#39;a&#39;]}.</p>
<p>Just be sure to be consistent so that later if they talk about a Borg sphere, it&#39;s a {Borg moQ&#39;a&#39;} and not a mere {Borg moQ}.</p>
