And besides, "friendship" has nothing to do with a "ship"! You cannot
compare "dictatorship" with "friendship", because they have *nothing* in
commun, they are *not* coumpund nouns of "x" + "ship".
Actually, I was referring to TKD 3.2.3 where Marc Okrand talks about
compound nouns that cannot be analyzed. He explains that there are no
words *'ej*, *Do'* or *yo'* that have something to do with Starfleet
etc. (Well, perhabs {Do'} has :-)
I hope you accept this as a DopDaq qul yIchenmoH ghobDI' ghu'!
