of compound noun, compound verb, and compound adjective. (2) The processes
consisted of a) 51 compound nouns (60%) with the division as follows; N + N =
N, V + N = N, N + V = N, ADJ + N = N, PP + N = N, and V + PP = N, b) 19
compound verb (22,4%) with the division as follows; V + N = V, PP + V = V, V
+ PP = V, and ADJ + V = V, c) 15 compound adjectives (17,6%) with the
division as follows; N + ADJ = ADJ, ADJ + N = ADJ, ADJ + V = ADJ, PP + N
= ADJ, PP + ADJ = ADJ and ADJ + ADJ = ADJ. (3) The types of compound
