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?:*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 nowPutting *-'e'* on *be'* or *loD* wouldn't be allowed. Or is there an exception?
Using -'e' 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 -'e'. 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.
