This study investigates N-N attributive compounds in Lithuanian. We argue that, unlike root-root compounds, they include two nominalized roots (cf. Iordăchioaia et al. 2017) combined via adjunction, which are then crowned by a high n3-projection. A striking feature of N-N compounds is that the gender feature of the head element is retained while the inflectional class is lost. This study counterexemplifies the "Highest Gender Wins" Hypothesis (Kramer 2015) in showing that n2 determines the gender of the compound rather than n3, which supports a weaker version of PIC (e.g., Moskal 2015). Unlike gender features, we argue that class features are purely morphophonological and subject to strict locality (in line with Gouskova & Bobaljik 2021): the class features of n2 do not percolate upwards. The compound is assigned either Classes I.b (for masculine nouns) or II.b (for feminine nouns), which are the default declension types for nouns with palatalized stem-final consonants, with the palatalization being the consistent phonological realization of n3 in all Lithuanian compounds
