I agree on that count.

cha' DoS DIqIp. In a post to the MSN newsgroup, Okrand gave the following
phrases, and glossed them as English genitives, which implies to me that he
intended them to be noun-noun constructions rather than pairs of separate
adverbials:
"DaHjaj ram "tonight" (literally "today night" or "today's night")
DaHjaj po "this morning" (literally "today morning" or "today's morning")
DaHjaj pov "this afternoon" (literally "today afternoon" or "today's
afternoon")
DaHjaj DungluQ "this noon" (literally "today noon" or "today's noon")
DaHjaj ramjep "this midnight" (literally "today midnight" or "today's
midnight")
DaHjaj pemjep "this midday" (literally "today midday" or "today's midday")"
