A noun phrase may at the same time contain pronominal and post nominal attributes. There are no concurrences restrictions across the head noun ; concurrence restrictions among post nominal attributes discussed recently do not bear on those among prenominal attributes.

6.2.2.	The Co-ordinate Noun Phrase
A co-ordinate noun phrase is built up of two or more head nouns, at par in linguistic status, which, in their turn, may be single nouns or attributive noun phrases. These head nouns are conjoined by a coordinating connective or coordinator which may be either the conjunctive ye ‘and’ or the disjunctive moli ‘or’. When the phrase is built around more than two nouns, the coordinators are added after the penultimate noun. eno, an archaic word meaning ‘and’ does not occur in phrasal coordination.
