Yes, if you look in the Addendum word list, you'll find {DaHjaj} is
translated "today (n)," but there are a bunch of words in the various
word lists that are translated with the note "(adv)," like {DaH} "now
(adv)."
I was not interpreting the phrase "these words."
Even if we consider that Klingon grammarians don't distinguish
"adverbials" as a part of speech, {DaHjaj} is a {DIp}, while all the
words in 5.4, and presumably all the words labeled "(adv)" or described
by Okrand as "adverbials," are {chuvmey}.
