looks like a case of apposition; noun-noun compounds cover a
wide range of relations, and this seems to be in keeping with
that.

The skin protector type.

That's exactly my point. So if "apposition" is not the correct
word, how
<br>
would you describe this ..."situation" or "construction"?

<p>The word is <i>genitive.</i> The first noun of a noun-noun
construction is a genitive noun. A genitive noun is a noun that
modifies the sense of another noun.</p>

</i><b>Sor Hap</b><i> wood</i><i><br>
</i><b>torgh Sut</b><i> Torg's clothes<br>
</i><b>nuH bey'</b><i> ceremonial display of weapons</i><br>
</p>
<p>Apposition, on the other hand, is where two nouns or noun phrases
are side by side, and one further identifies the other.<br>
