all of your advices are really nice, but I did not intend to stick to 
this {nom qetbogh loD}.

I thought about an adjectivial use of an adverb. I know, this sounds 
strange. Perhaps it's a concept that nobody thought of, or it just 
doesn't work... ?

Here some examples, that might or might not work:

{nom qetwI' SoH}
"you are a quick runner"

{tlhoy SopwI' ghaH}
"he's a too-much-eater"

{not jeghwI'}
"a never surrenderer"

{pe'vIl tlhutlhwI'}
"forcefully drinker"

Do all of these just work in the pattern
{adverb verb-bogh noun}?
