A compound noun is a series of more than one noun being put together to form
a single, new noun. That's not what this is.
This is a relative clause with a head noun. {Hoch nungbogh Hogh} "Each week
which precedes." What's so mysterious about that? {nungbogh Hogh}
certainly works as a unit, but not as a compound noun.
