When making compound words there is no infix inserted, so morphemes are simply placed unedited after each other, with only the final one getting inflected.

The only case where a single morpheme in a word is ever changed in form is for the 28 total ''"ghost-syllable"'' morphemes, named so because they consist of a syllable onset followed by -'''ë''' in all positions except word-finally, where ''-ë'' disappears. They are: '''d, dj, dzm, fr, fs, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, pr, s, sr, st, sj, šp, t, tr, tš, v, vj, xf, zg, ž, žm'''.
