===Clisis & Lexicalisation===
This sort of rule is always a ''little'' bit persistent in most languages; basically, this rule blurs the lines between morpheme and word boundaries resulting in some words being combined (like French ''à''+''les'' → ''aux'') and others becoming independent words where they had previously required another word to affix to.

''“Common Germanic clitics may become independent words. Prepositions may fuse with a following determiner or pronoun. Sequential pronouns may be consolidated.”''
