Description: 
"In Igede certain nouns in sequence were fusing, with the fused form sometimes having a specialized meaning. Were these fused forms simply following fusion rules which were normal to syntactic phrases, or were they a more closely bound morphological unit? A practical problem was also involved: how should these noun complexes be written -- as two words or one? ... In view of the setting up of a new orthography, the aim, necessarily, was to determine the difference, if any, between two nouns which are simply following normal fusion rules and two nouns which are more closely bound together as a single unit."
