Morphology
Compound words
Compound words in PGH have a strict format to them & their creation. Namely, while a variety of stems may be included in compounding, all compounds are nouns. Similarly, the first stem in the compound typically acts as somewhat of a descriptor to the second stem, which is often a noun itself. If a multisyllabic stem is to be compounded, typically only the first syllable of the stem is used in the compound which will most often take its place as again the first or near-first syllable of the compound, however there is the occasional case of only the last syllable being taken from the stem and used finally or medially in the compound. Compounds comprised of multiple multisyllabic stems will either take the form of 1S-1S-1S-...-LS-LS-LS (1S and LS being the first and last syllables of their respective stems respectively) or simply compounding only the first syllable of each stem.
