There's no rule against it. There's a theoretical reason not to do it, 
which is not demonstrated one way or another in canon so far as I know: 
it might make sense if you cannot stylistically join nouns of dissimilar 
syntactic roles.

We have seen /not/ conjoining nouns of dissimilar role:

*naDevvo' vaS'a'Daq majaHlaH'a'
*/Can we get to the Great Hall from here?/ (CK)

(Notice that this sentence seems to violate the later revelations by 
Okrand of the workings of verbs of motion, like *jaH*.)

You can either say *ghe''orvo' jInarghpu'*/I escaped from Grethor/ or 
*ghe''or vInarghpu'*/I escaped Grethor./
