I assume you mean to imply that you still think that a
noun used in an N1-N2 genitival phrase has become an
adjective analogous to an adjective in English. My
analysis of the N1-N2 construction as I outlined in my
email completely accounts for these constructions
using only the terms and logic of Klingon, without
making a single reference to English or any English
grammar categories. The fact that the construction
has a superficial resemblance to a feature of English
grammar is irrelevant.
