How would you write "he returns from the great hall at

ghunchu'wI' is right: you can't put those type 5 suffixes

<div dir="auto">Why not? It's not a noun-noun construction, it's a
chain of locatives. I think multiple locatives is like multiple
adverbials: there hasn't been a canon example, but nothing
forbids it (unless there's a rule I've overlooked).</div>

<p>You wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>[vaS'a']vo' [tera'Daq DIvI' ra'ghom qach]Daq chegh</b><b><br>
</b><b>[tera'Daq DIvI' ra'ghom qachDaq vaS'a']vo' chegh</b></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Your brackets show locatives and froms affecting entire phrases
that include other locatives or froms. This is exactly what the
noun-noun restriction prohibits. You can't say this any more than
you can say <b>mIvDaq yIHvo'</b><i> </i>to mean <i>from the
tribble [that is] in the helmet.</i> The phrase <b>*mIvDaq yIH</b>
itself is illegal. A syntactic noun cannot be the genitive to a
head noun. At best, <b>mIvDaq yIHvo'</b> can mean <i>in the
helmet, from the tribble,</i> but there is absolutely no
connection (no genitive relationship) between the tribble and the
helmet. The two words might happen to sit next to each other in a
larger sentence, but they have no direct relationship.<br>
