Hi,

we have an example {logh Hop Hut tengchaH} (SB 99), where the name comes 
before the thing, and then we have {'ejDo' 'entepray'} (ST5) where the 
name comes at the end. But ST5 has several errors, so it may be a mistake.

What we have as a rule are ranks, {qarghan HoD} is the correct word order.

Question: Is there any rule about naming things, like in "starship 
enterprise" or the folder "documents" on a computer.

Maybe from the Monopoly, does it say take the combat card as "vIq 
'echletHom" or 'echletHom vIq... how do you play poker?

Thanks for your opinions.
