We do not know much about stress in Klingon at all, but I think I would
stress noun-noun constructions different than compound nouns.
It's hard to find examples quickly. I think in two syllable words, each
syllable may be stressed equally (toDSaH, tlharghDuj, veqlargh), also
with compund nouns (puchpa', toDDuj, SuyDuj).
When used as a noun-noun construction, I "may" stress it differently,
for instance, "I want the merchant's ship" {Suy DUJ vIneH} instead of "I
want the merchant ship." There can be a slight difference in meaning
here, which can be shown by adding an extra space.
