Once again, the beginner goes out on a limb...
{'Iw HIq bal} -- bloodwine bottle, IOW the type of bottle used for
storing bloodwine
{bal 'Iw HIq} -- bottle of bloodwine(?)
{vaghmaH balmey 'Iw HIq ngaS qeghvam.} -- This keg/barrel contains 50
bottles (worth) of bloodwine.
Or should that be written {vaghmaH bal 'Iw HIqmey 'Iw HIq ngaS qeghvam},
treating {bal 'Iw HIq} as a single unit (of measure)?
