Grrrrrr... I thought we had settled this already. TKD 4.4 explicitly says
"There are no adjectives as such in Klingon." Klingon uses verbs to carry
the meanings that adjectives carry in English. "A verb expressing a state
or quality can be used immediately following a noun to modify that noun."
It does not say that such a verb becomes an adjective. Got it? Even when
its being used to modify the noun, it's still a verb.
