-==Compounding==
-How compounds are formed depends on their semantics [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_(linguistics)#Semantic_classification].
-===Endocentric Compounds===
-These are head final, with the second element (and any subsequent elements) losing its stress and phonation e.g.
-/ˈsíʔtà-kʰwèi/
-guardian-dog
-a watchdog
-If this compounding would result in multiple aspirated consonants in the same word, all except the first lose their aspiration e.g.
-/pʰáˈzè̤t-kwèi/
-forest-dog
-a wild dog (not */pʰáˈzè̤t-kʰwèi/)
-Voiceless nasals, /h/, and clusters containing /h/ also count as "aspirated consonants" e.g. from /káˈkʰâṵd/ - "isthmus" we form the compound
-/éˈmḛ̂hè-kà̀kàud/
-emerge-isthmus
-land that rises from the sea due to isostatic rebound [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isostatic_reboundhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isostatic_rebound]
-===Exocentric compounds===
-Here it is the first element of the compound that loses its stress, phonation and aspiration (if any) e.g.
-/émé.é-káˈkʰâṵd/
-emerge-isthmus
-War fought over land that rises from the sea due to isostatic rebound (a very common occurrence)
