ATTRIBUTIVE NOUNS<br />
A noun can modify the meaning of another noun in senses other than possession. When this occurs, the modifying noun is placed<br />
after the noun it modifies and is used in the attributive form. These behave more like adjectives than nouns, and in the case of<br />
qualitative nouns, can even be used as verbs.<br />
