I'm not sure it's quite so clearly defined as that. Copula pronouns can
take verbal suffixes, after all. And we know from the latest qepHom
(http://www.qephom.de/book/qepHom2019_p_21.jpg) that not all Klingons
analyze words into distinct parts of speech the same way.

Be careful not to over-interpret this too much. It was only said that
verbs and nouns can be the same word, based on TKD; Don't interpret it
too much that words can mean anything now. Proniuns were NEVER treated
as a verb, it's only the English translation that uses a verb (to be).

Agreed. The text of the qepHom page goes out its way to avoid declaring whether identical nouns and verbs are, in fact, the same word, or whether they're homophonous, but different, words. The TKD Addendum describes "nouns and verbs being identical in form."

But nIqolay's point is not without merit: Klingon parts of speech may not be utterly rigid. Of course, there are formally only the three parts of speech: DIp, wot, chuv, and a lot of chuvmey act like, stand in for, or have properties of DIpmey or wotmey at times. But there are clearly limits. You could not, for instance, use a pronoun as an adverbial or an adverbial as a pronoun, despite the fact that they're both chuvmey. Since we lack vocabulary for the subtypes of chuvmey, one might think that Klingon linguists don't care to develop too detailed of a formal description of the structure of their language.
