Silly example, but suppose there *were* a special sort of box which was
typically used as material for making bottles; e.g. maybe they're some
kind of glass 'boxes' created by the glass-making process, in a form
especially convenient for glass-blowers to work with when making
bottles.  What would you call those boxes?  "botpi tanxe" seems
feasible, or better yet "te botpi tanxe".

Good point, but I'm glad he did it anyway.  I probably would have (wrongly)
pronounced it as TRSton. if it had been spelled without capitals.
