Out of curiosity, since I can't think of an example..

Lets say we have a {-bogh} phrase, e.g. {bartIq leghbogh vIghro'}.

Is there a rule which prohibits, one of the nouns having a type-5, e.g.
{-'e'}, *and* at the same time the other noun having a type-5 too, e.g.
{-mo'}, {-Daq}, {-vo'}, {-vaD} ?

I don't know such a rule:

{bartIqDaq bachbogh vIghro'mo' jIHagh.}

Why not?

I think what he means is that the type 5 suffixes apply to the relative clause as a whole, not to noun phrases added to the relative clause.

For instance, you can say bartIqDaq leghbogh vIghro' jIba' I sit on the branch that the cat sees. The -Daq on the head noun turns the entire relative clause into a locative.

What mayqel seems to be asking is whether you could add another type 5 to the other noun in the relative clause and also have that apply to the main clause. For instance, bartIqDaq leghbogh vIghro'mo' jIba'. I don't think this works, because it would make the relative clause, which is a noun phrase, have multiple syntactic roles, which is generally forbidden.
