AFAIK we have only one example of {nIH} "right (side) and {poS} "left (side)":
poSDaq nIHDaq je QamtaHvIS SuvwI'pu', chaH jojDaq yItnIS lopwI'
The initiate must pass through a gauntlet of warriors. (S9)
This suggests another possibility:
? nIHDaq mu'oy'moH teSwIj.
? nIHDaq 'oy'[choH] teSwIj.
... with {jIH} being understood since {teS} is marked with {-wIj}.
Can anyone think of an example of an "area noun" being used with a body part?
Are there any other examples of {nIH} and {poS} in the paq'batlh?
