It's because those are no.-klingon items. I think anyone will understand if omitted, but grammatically, the additional word must always be added.

With regards to the fruits, I can't understand the rationale by which
some fruits have the {naH} and some don't. Does this mean that while
we can say {tanje'rInmey Soppu' qeSHoS}, we can't just say {'epIlmey
Soppu' qeSHoS} ? Do we *need* to add the {naH} too, thus writing
{'epIl naHmey Soppu' qeSHoS} ?

Similarly, if we want to say "the chef put french fries next to the steak".

Can't we just say {Ha'DIbaH baylaD retlhDaq tlhagh patat naQHommey
lanpu' vutwI'} ? Do we *need* to add the {'oQqar} too, thus writing
{Ha'DIbaH baylaD retlhDaq tlhagh patat 'oQqar naQHommey lanpu' vutwI'}
?
