<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>In a noun-noun construction *noun* actually means *noun phrase*, so that we can have noun-noun constructions with nouns + adjectival verbs or relative clauses, right?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>*be' val paq* - the book of the intelligent woman</div>
<div>*DaH be' vIleghtaHbogh paq* - the book of the woman I'm seeing now</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, in TKD it's stated that in a noun-noun construction only the second noun can take a Type 5 suffix (well, I suppose it would be better to say *only the last noun*, since noun-noun constructions with multiple nouns / noun-phrases are possible). But since *-'e'* is a Type 5 suffix, how could we disambiguate this sentence?:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>*DaH be' leghtaHbogh loD paq* - the book of the man who is seeing the woman now / the book of the woman the man is seeing now</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Putting *-'e'* on *be'* or *loD* wouldn't be allowed. Or is there an exception?</div></div></body></html>
