I still think coining new compound words is acceptable, but I do understand
the value of not confusing beginners, so I'll stay off the topic from now
on.

Indeed, all of the above is correct, and I won't contradict.<br>
<br></div>
Just for the record, I want to add that this is something that we have agre=
ed on, just because it makes it easier for beginners (and others) to read t=
he words. This is one of the situations of TKD that leaves different interp=
retations and has lead to long discussions in the past: some say that TKD o=
nly explains compound nouns, others see it as a guideline how to "make=
" compound words. The three lines in TKD are really not much, and afte=
r all, it really doesn't matter, so Okrand is right that we shouldn'=
;t bother too much about that.<span class=3D"HOEnZb"></span></blockquote><d=
