===Compounding===
===Compounding===
Noun-adjective compounding occurs by removing the ending of the noun (and inserting ''-o-'' for first declension, ''-e-'' for second declennsion, and ''-i-'' for third declension of the noun if phonotactically required) and adopting the tone of the noun and the tonal pattern of the adjective. This can semantically be taken as either a noun with a supplemental meaning by the adjective or as an adjective with the meaning colored by the noun.

If the compound is a noun with a supplemental meaning by the adjective, the lexical tone is that of the noun; on the contrary, as an adjective with the meaning colored by the noun, the lexical tone is adopted from the adjective.
