I don't think this looks like a case of apposition; noun-noun compounds cover a wide range of relations, and this seems to be in keeping with that.

That's exactly my point. So if "apposition" is not the correct word, how would you describe this ..."situation" or "construction"?
The word is /genitive./ 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. *bIQ bal* /water jug /*Sor Hap*/wood// /*torgh Sut*/Torg's clothes /*nuH bey'*/ceremonial display of weapons/ Apposition, on the other hand, is where two nouns or noun phrases are side by side, and one further identifies the other. *DIvI' 'ejDo' 'entepray'*/Federation starship /Enterprise *torgh, vavwI', DaHoHpu'*/**You killed my father Torg./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
