There is a special way of compounding nouns to mean x and y. It's similar to English constructions like 'salt and pepper', but packing it into a single word. You connect the words with the i sound. You can use regular conjunctions, of course. However, by building a single compound word, the two concepts are tied very tightly. | There is a special way of compounding nouns to mean x and y.
