Editing Kot Wawa (section)

== Notation – Compound words ==
(V|N)-N.

The application of immediate objects is the tightest way to combine words in Kot Wawa. It is acceptable to write a word an its object as one word, so long as the boundary between the unit words is clear. The result is a compound word. You can use a hyphen, or when it’s clear, a space.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
|  | lùki-pípi.
|  | “It looks at a bug.”
|  | 
|-
| | mòkkál.
| | “It eats a sea creature.”
| style="border-top:none;" | 
|-
| | lùki-wás.
| | “It looks at a bird.”
| style="border-top:none;" | 
|-
| | lúki-tókpón.
| | “Watcher of sayer of goot things.”
| style="border-top:none;" | 
|-
| | lúki-tókmókpón.
| | “Watcher of describer of good-thing-eater.”
| style="border-top:none;" | 
|}

In terms of pronunciation and meaning, it is the same as if you wrote the unit words separately. It’s an option to more clearly show the grouping of words that arises from the grammar.
