So, you’re saying I should have used a comma between “Kenyan” and “dog-eating”?

Lobsta, I am trepidatious about advising a master of the ablative absolute such as your own esteemed self in my arcane views, however, if I may,

There is no need for the comma between "Kenyan," and "Dog-eating." One might simply place "Dog-eating" in front of "Kenyan."

Sample sentence: "The Mombasa MF is a dog-eating Kenyan." However a comma would be mandatory if you were to add a further descriptive, as in: "The Mombasa MF is a gay, dog-eating Kenyan."

I’ll try to remember that in the future being a stickler for accuracy, and not one to tolerate the gratuitous and wanton waste of commas.
