Sorry; is there a rule against directly:?
  wa' Human nen yoH
one brave adult human
But I suppose that it could also mean:
wa' may mean:-
- I:1
Human may mean:-
- N:human
nen may mean:-
- V:be_mature/adult=
- N:[growth|maturation|maturity]=
yoH may mean:-
- V:be_brave
one human's brave maturity

      ok, I
          understand. However, if one wrote {nenbogh 'ej
          yoHbogh wa' Human}, then that would be correct too, right ?
      
There's nothing technically wrong with it. However, it violates
        my sense of adjective order. We're not dealing exactly with
        adjectives here, but the effect is the same.
    
    
Mind you, that's an English rule. There's no guarantee that
      Klingons have anything like it. Given their strictly ordered
      suffixes and word order, however, I wouldn't be surprised if there
      were such a thing.
