Your brackets show locatives and froms affecting entire phrases that include other locatives or froms. This is exactly what the noun-noun restriction prohibits. You can't say this any more than you can say mIvDaq yIHvo' to mean from the tribble [that is] in the helmet. The phrase *mIvDaq yIH itself is illegal. A syntactic noun cannot be the genitive to a head noun. At best, mIvDaq yIHvo' can mean in the helmet, from the tribble, but there is absolutely no connection (no genitive relationship) between the tribble and the helmet. The two words might happen to sit next to each other in a larger sentence, but they have no direct relationship.
Point taken. DopDaq qul yIchenmoH QobDI' ghu'. Would you accept a chain of {-Daq}s and {-vo'}s like this? {Qo'noSvo' vaS'a'vo' tera'Daq DIvI' ra'ghom qachDaq chegh} {tera'vo' DIvI' ra'ghom qachvo' vaS'a'vo' chegh} -- De'vID
