No, we don't have any examples of multiple adjectival verbs. TKD says that
verbs used this way *immediately* follow the noun. There's only room for
one such verb. If we follow the rules we know so far, using two verbs this
way is not necessarily perfect grammar.
I can very nearly justify {yoHbogh matlhbogh je SuvwI'} using the "also"
adverbial meaning of {je}, but it's still unlike the other examples we've
seen of multiple {-bogh} verbs applying to the same head noun.
