Why do you consider the verb {nungbogh} to be a noun? Perhaps it
is just your choice of terminology. Meanwhile, I read this as a
rather odd sounding:
"It rains while the week which preceeds everything happens and
it rains repeatedly," or less likely, "It rains while everything
which is preceeded by the week happens and it rains again."
I see tereS using {nung} as a transitive verb with {Hogh} as
subject and {Hoch} as object. {Hoch nungbogh Hogh} then becomes
a relative clause. It does sound like tereS likely didn't intend
this message to mean what it appears to mean, but I would not
relate the error to anything I'd call a compound noun.
