Quoting Elisa:

My train of thoughts was right: a word cannot have two possessive suffixes. If that happens, the first one drops.

erm.......
Let's take a step back to where we started this discussion!

It came from:
kır evileriden - "from their country house"
to which you suggested it should be:
kır evilerinden

"evleriden" does not have two possessive suffixes - it has one possessive (-leri) and one ablative (-den). Also changing from "evileriden" to "evilerinden" doesn't drop anything - it simply adds a fusion consonant!

What is the best translation of "silly"???
As in "Floss, you are a silly dog!"

Would it be:
Floss, sen aptal bir kÃ¶peksin

Quoting Elisa:

from their country house - onların kır evlerinden

Now the reason why... I can't put it into words, it's just like two times -i- (evIlerI/evIlerInden) would be too much.
I'd think that the -i- in -leri counts as the possessive -i-.

That doesn't seem very consistent with
arabaları - their car
