<div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;">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>*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>

<p>Using <b>-'e'</b> on the head noun of a relative clause is
entirely optional, so if it's blocked by some other rule, just
don't use an <b>-'e'.</b> If it's absolutely imperative that the
listener not be required to work out for themselves whose book it
is, don't introduce so many new items in a single sentence. If the
woman, the man, or the seeing had been introduced in a prior
sentence, it wouldn't have to be repeated here.<br>
