I used to think similarly, but after TalkNow I realized that some word
combinations indeed deserve their own entry:
There's no reason? {wovmoHbogh jan} is translated as "light" (i.e. a
device). Now if someone may search for a term "light", he should find
that word.
all of the talknow noun-noun "words" are listed in the newwords list.
Even if you decide {wovmoHbogh jan} should be omitted in the new words
list, IMO it belongs in every well managed dictionary.
