Recently, on the "learn klingon" facebook group, there was a discussion, with regards, whether the two nouns of a noun-noun construction can have adjectives.
For example {la' Dun vIghro' tIQ} "the ancient cat of the great commander".
Personally, I would avoid using such constructions, because they could be confusing.
However, I would like to ask, whether there is a rule prohibiting such constructions.
Because, although I've read that facebook thread, I still don't understand whether they're illegal or not.
How about *logh Hop Hut tengchaH* /Deep Space 9/ from Skybox 99? Or *tlhIngan Dujmey law’qu’ SommeyDaq batlh cha’lu’* /has been emblazoned upon the hulls of countless Klingon Starships/ from Skybox SP1? Sure, it's legal. And canonical. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
