Shouldn't it be Fjord-bank cwm, as in the cwm on the bank of the fjord? Cwm fjord-bank sounds like the fjord-bank of the cwm.
Yeah, if you switch to some similar phrases like "river bank hole drawings" it's easy to see that it wouldn't be "hole river bank drawings". Also it's missing an article before quiz. I guess it could be written in headline-style, but that seems like cheating. Just another reason it doesn't really work I guess, and why the "waltz bad nymph" sentence is so impressive.
Or it's a pseudo proper noun, like teach.
