That is precisely what I'm saying though. Abandonment is being used as a qualifier similar to an adjective.

Again, I will break down my reasoning so there is no ambiguity on your part.

Between these two titles, one part is consistent, and that is the ending, 月夜抄. This means, literally, "Moonlit Night Tale". This suggests to me that this is its own term. Cutting out "Night" for reasons that have already been discussed in length and thus I won't go into, the term would be "Moonlit Tale".

Moonlit, as an adjective, is saying to us that "These are tales that take place under the moon".

Why mothy chose to not write Moonlit Bear the same way I dont' know--perhaps the reasons that Octo was discussing. The point is that, going off the title, these are clear mirrors of each other.

When I say "Abandonment"is a qualifier, I'm not saying it's a qualifier of the adjective "Moonlit". It is a qualifier of the FULL TERM "Moonlit Tale".

It is saying "This is the Moonlit Tale that pertains to Abandonment." Just as the subtitle of "And Then the Girl Went Mad" would mean "This is the Moonlit Tale that Ends this series".

To make it flow easier, we would write it as "The Abandonment Moonlit Tale" and "The Ending Moonlit Tale". These are grammatically correct in English and convey what I am suggesting unless one is focused on Moonlit as a generally floating adjective that can be put anywhere in the title (which it's not) instead of one half of the term "Moonlit Tale".
