===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). 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.~~

Compounding and incorporation is the main, characteristically Themsaran method of derivation.

~~:'''''cólèn''' (1st decl~~.~~, high tone)''' + simáttem''' (accent paradigm ''c'') '''= cólnosimáttmē'''''~~

~~:''wind + northern = the north wind''~~

Compounds headed by the final noun are largely 'kind of noun' compounds (noun-noun/adj-noun)~~, whereas more coordinative compounds will be~~ right-branching, often of a noun-adjective form.

:'''wind' + 'northern' = 'north wind'; ''sōrachráth'' 'royalty, royal household' < ''sôr'' 'house' + ''achráth'' 'royal'; post-classical neologisms include ''žálfaromîn'' ''tradition'' < ''žál-'' 'passing, transmission' + ''fáromîn'' ''hereditary''; ''thilħārdé'' 'broadsword, claymore' < ''thilħé'' 'sword' + ''ârd'' 'big, great').

Compounds headed by the final noun are largely 'kind of noun' compounds (noun-noun/adj-noun) and are much less productive than the right-branching ones often of a noun-adjective form.

Verb-verb compounding also occurs, e.g. ''duaħivinâi'' 'go extinct, perish, die out' < ''duaħî'' 'fade, be erased' + ''vinâi'' 'die'.
