+Joining two words may be cool and cryptic, but it may become too much cryptic, so I advice to write them separately in the following situations:
   * Noun + adjective joints are favorable in making new words, like names for people and places, e.g. "Lugbûrz" (Barad-dûr, Dark Tower) is literally "Tower-dark", but for some abstract dark tower it's better to spell them separately: "some dark tower" is "mûd bûrz lug" or "mûd lug bûrz".
   * If one word ends with same (or similar) sound as the second starts, it's better to split them: "elf" is "golug", "old" is "kû", "old elf" would be "golugkû" but in hasty speech it will be most likely pronounced as /goluggu:/ or /golukku:/ which may lead to a confusion with "towards elf" and "know all" respectively, so it's better say just "kû golug". However this rule doesn't apply to compound words and names like "Nazgûl" from "nazg" (ring) and "gûl" (wraith), "Mauhûr" from "mauh" (warrior) + "hûr" (fierce).
