Another common method of noun formation is to make a compound: /dhu'onpaletl/.
this is often used in names that have a 'unitary" feel about them.
Often these are further modified. The current usage for your clan in Jakalla is /dhupaletl(koi)/.

Just a suggestion on Clan Names.
While Tsolyani attributives adjectives may come either before or after the noun the describe, they usually take the ending "-in, -an, -n" and only rarely 0 (zero, no ending).
So while "gold = dhu'onikh" and "sapphire = patletlikkh" my clan "Golden Sapphire" would be "Dhu'onin Paletlikh" or "Paletlikh Dhu'onin," or, more probably "Dlanmu hiPaletl (no suffix after "hi") Dhu'onin Clan (of the) Sapphire Golden,"
Likweise "dhumalakh = kirtle," + "paletlin = adjectival form of 'sapphire' " would make the "title"/nickname of my old Legion, the 12th LI, "Niqomikh hiDhumala Patletlin = Legion of the Sapphire Kirtle."
