The source of my confusion, has been the fact that {poS} and {leQ} are locatives, as for instance {bIng}, {Dung} etc.
Locatives aren't always to be placed second in a noun-noun construction ?
None of those are locatives. They describe locations, but they are not inherently locative as *naDev, pa', vogh,* and *Dat* are. Only those four words are known to be inherently locative.
Also, technically speaking, the rule is that you can't put a type 5 suffix on the first noun of the noun-noun construction, not that the first noun can't be locative. I have no idea whether one of the inherently locative nouns are allowed to be the first noun, but it doesn't break any stated rule we have. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
