_Dom Pedro, the emperor, was welcomed by the Americans_. The noun _emperor_
modifies _Dom Pedro_ by telling what Dom Pedro is meant. Both words name
the same person.
_Solomon's_ and _emperor_, like adjectives, modify nouns; but they are
names of things, and are modified by adjectives and not by adverbs; as,
_the wise_ Solomon's temple; Dom Pedro, _the Brazilian_ emperor. These are
conclusive reasons for calling such words nouns.
They represent two kinds of +Noun Modifiers+--the +Possessive+ and the
+Explanatory+.
The Explanatory Modifier is often called an +Appositive+. It identifies or
explains by adding another name of the same thing.
