I thought I already did this. Noun-noun is genitive.
genitive --adj. 1. (in some inflective languages) denoting the case of nouns
generally used to modify other nouns, often indicating possession, but used
also in expressions of measure, origin, characteristic: Examples: JOHN'S
hat, MAN'S fate, WEEK'S vacation, DUTY'S call. 2. denoting the affix or
other element characteristic of this case, or a word containing such an
element. 3. similar to such a case form in function or meaning. --n. the
genitive case. 5. a word in that case. 6. a construction of similar
meaning.
(The American College Dictionary, 1966 printing)
See d'Armond's discussion of this in HolQeD: 3:3/6-9, 3:4/12,17-19.
