Suppose you're playing {pegh mu'}. The password is {gho}. The clue you
want to give your partner is "blood oath." As you know, in {pegh mu'}
you can only give your partner a single-word clue. Is {'Iw'Ip} a single
word or an illegal clue?
Perhaps this is a fatuous example, but there are times when you care
whether something you utter is a single word or not.
