 Like english: there is no single word for "five days ago", but there is one
 for "one day ago". >>

But, canon from TKD p. 82 indicates that {cha'Hu'} and {cha'leS} are one word
each, also.  What evidence do you have from canon that any number used with
the "nouns" {Hu'} and {leS} should not also be one word each?  I have seen the
number and these two "nouns" written separately only by users of this
listserv.
