A less contentious interpretation might be to call it an "attributive
noun". If you want another example, look at {baS 'In}. Such words
indeed act as adjectives in English, but they can just as easily fit
the Klingon N-N construction alongside other genitive uses.
I suggest that you should just swallow the canon usage and be done
with it, instead of chewing on it and complaining about the bitter
taste. :-)
