Compounding words is pretty simple overall. Except for a few variations, the word creator just combine the words. Usually the ‘core’ word is the last word, with the modifier word or words first. Different parts of speech | Compounding words is pretty simple overall. Except for a few variations, the word creator just combine the words. Usually the ‘core’ word is the last word, with the modifier word or words first. Different parts of speech can be compounded together (the new part of speech is based off of the last word) and multiple words can be strung together as needed. | ||

The tricky part in compounding relates to respecting the forms of Brooding words in the process. Here are some guidelines. | The tricky part in compounding relates to respecting the forms of Brooding words in the process. Here are some guidelines. | ||
* When compounding words leads to two vowels in a row in a word, drop the first vowel.

** If adding a verbal infix to change the part of speech results in a duplicate, add ''-uh-''; e.g. ''aetol'' ‘to laugh (with)’, + ''t'' ‘(nominalization)’ → ''aetuhtol'' ‘communal laughter’, not **''aetol''. | ** If adding a verbal infix to change the part of speech results in a duplicate, add ''-uh-''; e.g. ''[[Contionary: aetol|aetol]]'' ‘to laugh (with)’, + ''[[Contionary: -t-|-t-]]'' ‘(nominalization)’ → ''[[Contionary: aetuhtol|aetuhtol]]'' ‘communal laughter’, not **''aetol''. | ||
* When compounding words with verbs to make other verbs is a specific case, because the form of a verb is so specific. This is one of the places where Brooding becomes a bit more complex than normal. | * When compounding words with verbs to make other verbs is a specific case, because the form of a verb is so specific.

==== Possessive compounds ==== | ==== Possessive compounds ==== | ||
To make compounds that indicate a noun in possession of a noun, you compound the core word with the possessive form of the possessor noun. For example, “cow’s foot” would be ''foolshem'' (possessive form of ''foos'': ''fools'' + ''hem''). Note that the word is pronounced ''fools-hem'', not ''fool-shem''. | To make compounds that indicate a noun in possession of a noun, you compound the core word with the possessive form of the possessor noun.
