[N VQ] N

Can I use a noun modified by a verb of quality as the first noun in a 
noun-noun construction?

For example, can I (loosely) express the idea of "the long road's stones" as:

{He tIq naghmey}?


I'm pretty sure that one can't in general use [N VQ] anywhere that a noun 
can be used because of the counterexample of [N VQ] VQ

i.e. *{He tIq Hab}

which I believe to be non-grammatical.
