Byneeding a space, are you suggesting slamming multiple words together to make one single word, as one does Aug Deutsch?
Yes, autocorrect sucks sometimes ;-) Indeed. Sorry for not being clear. What I meant is talking about compound nouns, and the difference between CN and noun-noun-constructions. Grammatically, there is not much difference, but there is. When "speaking" a language, you don't hear that difference anyway, but sometimes people insist on the difference, and sometimes Okrand even confirms the difference, althoigh he says it's not so important. May question came from a recent discussion on Facebook. Someone quoted form DeCandido's book which used a word *qo'Sor* which had been corrected by Okrand to {qo'_Sor}, i.e. with a space. So I'd like to find existing examples which "may" give a litle light into this, but without making any rules of it. -- Lieven L.
