In this case, I think that {moch Qel} does not work that way. It seems like a parallel to {veSDuj} "warship" or "ship of war" but it feels odd, because in {veSDuj} the word {veS} somehow includes the purpose of {Duj}, but the way you intend this, a {moch Qel} is not a Qel serving a moch.
Interesting opinion. On the other hand though, we have the {baS 'In} for "metal drum, bell", where the {baS} doesn't include the purpose of {'In}, since the purpose of the drum isn't to be metal. The only difference that I see between the {moch Qel} and {baS 'in}, is that reading the {baS 'In} as "drum of metal" makes sense without altering the intended meaning, while reading the {moch Qel} as "doctor of the superior", produces quite a different meaning than "superior (in hierarchy) doctor". Anyway, I thought of something else.. Perhaps if we reversed the order of the noun-noun construction could do the trick.. Suppose I wrote {maqlegh moch}; this construction could be read in either one of the following two ways: 1. "the priestess superior"; there is a superior.. what kind of superior ? a priestess superior, i.e. perhaps something like a high priestess. 2. "the superior of the priestess"; and here's the interesting part.. Since the {moch} describes someone superior within a hierarchy, then it stands to reason, that the "superior of the priestess" will be a priestess too. So, given the right context, we could have again the meaning of a "high priestess". Perhaps this would be the way to go.. ~ mayqel qunen'oS
