Re: Musings on Language #2
italian has a few of those too.. like cassaforte..which translates as strong-box and is in fact a safe.. it is in fact two words compounded into one..yet doesn't work the way a single word does..because the plural consists in the plural forms of both words..and is cassEfortI..
