GUIDE TO COMPOUNDING The following list is based on the principles and rules for compounding given on pages 49-53. Manifestly such a list cannot be complete, but the approved usage with respect to any words not included can be determined by analogy or by application of the rules or the general principle. Words printed flush are combined with the words indented beneath them to form solid compounds, hyphened compounds, or two words (indicated by the space mark). Words given under combining forms, prefixes, and suffixes are limited to only a few examples. Such words are usually solid (rules 58, 58a), but the hyphen is sometimes required for a special reason (rules 586, 58c). Rule numbers are indicated in parentheses, except that no reference is made to the general rule for compounding (rule 43), as that rule applies to all compounds in the list. Words kept apart under the general principle only are followed by no parenthetic reference. The abbreviations a. (adjective), adv. (adverb), n. (noun), p. (participle), pron. (pronoun), and v. (verb) indicate functions of the compounds as given; words marked u.m. (unit modifier) are compounded only if preceding a noun. Foreign languages are indicated by the usual abbreviations. shore (52) side (52) arch (prefix) bishop (58) pillar (58) arch (suffix) (58) areaway (48) argillo (combining form) magnesian (58a) argus-eyed (49) aristo (combining form) paper (58a) man (48) stone (48) axletree (48) tree (48) aye-aye (446) back ache (48) alpen type (58a) glow (48) arm -acting (49) angle (48) band (48) bite (v.)
