RE: Adjectives In Noun-Noun Constructs



SIv ...Paul:

:Can you place adjectives inside a noun-noun construction?
:For example, /yejHaD quv De'wI'/ "the computers of the
:honored institute"?
:
:[...pe'...]
:
:Are there any canon examples of the latter argument?

SP 1: {Qo'noS wo'}   Empire of Kronos

   This marking represents the Klingon Empire and has been
   emblazoned upon the hulls of countless Klingon Starships.
   During the aggressive expansion of the Klingon people from
   their homeworld of Kronos into space, this symbol grew to
   become as feared throughout the galaxy as the menacing
   profiles of their battlecruisers.

   [N]       [N  A+suffix]    [N+suff]

lit.: On the hulls of very many Klingon ships
