Many canon examples contradict you.
Skybox SP1 is analogous to "The Planet Earth":
juHqo' Qo'noSvo' loghDaq lengtaHvIS tlhInganpu'...
"...from their homeworld of Qo'noS..."
Skybox S15 follows the same pattern:
...QongmeH qItI'nga' Duj tI'ang...
"...a sleeper ship of [the K'Tinga] class, the T'Ong..."
And S26, which is the prototypical example of apposition:
... DuraS be'nI'pu' lurSa' be'etor je.
"The sisters of Duras, Lursa and B'Etor ..."
The name comes after the description.
