Basically, Okrand's approach to this has been to say that all
the words listed in the dicationary that appear to be roots
with suffixes really are roots with suffixes...

The head noun gets it. If you mean "You can never know the
person who sends the message," you put {-'e'} on {nuv}. If you
mean, "You can never know the message which is sent by the
person," you put the {-'e'} on {jabbI'ID}.
The head noun is the one that functions in both the relative
clause "person sends message" and the main clause "You can
never know the person" (assuming that "person" is the head noun
here).
