I haven't been following this thread very closely, and I'm not going to comment on timestamps, but do we know for sure that there can be _nothing_ between the nouns in a noun-noun construction? Did Okrand explicitly state this? So something as seemingly natural as {Duj tIn HoD} "The captain of the large ship" is illegal? I thought we'd used this construction pretty freely in the past.
