Help. My sister needs examples of a plural regular noun inside a compound.
Examples given to her were:
- 6-inches-long-spider (quntificational compounds)
- Publications research, finals week ('heteregenous' class, mostly denoting organizational units, fields of study etc)
- Equal rights amendment, new books shelf (an adjective modifies the plural noun inside the compound)
Word geeks out there, please crack your brains! Thanks!
