I can understand {Dargh HIvje' jengva' je}, meaning {(Dargh HIvje'), (jengva') je} "(tea)cup and saucer", if I take into account that the {Dargh HIvje'} was given as "teacup". So, the reader of could be expected to understand {(Dargh HIvje') jengva' je}. What I'm wondering though is this: Assume we have a N-N-N-N (quadruple noun construction); are *all* combinations possible ? i.e. (N-N)-N-N, N-(N-N)-N, N-N-(N-N), (N-N-N)-N, N-(N-N-N) ? Of course, I would never use something like that in a real text, but I would like to understand how this actually works. ~ m. qunen'oS where the federation cat goes we follow
