Scriptural Citations. Scriptural citations of chapter and verse should be thus: Chapter in lower-case roman numerals, and verse in figures, as: Acts vii, 16.
[41.] Compounds. See also paragraphs [10] and [27]. As stated in the introduction, the Standard Dictionary seems to be the only one that gives the compounding of words. By its system both solidified and hyphenated words of the compound type are shown. Teall’s book on this subject is really a codification of the compounds appearing in the Standard Dictionary. Since Teall’s list was made there have been some changes in the system preferred by good writers. Every change has been in the direction of solidifying. Teall gives bookkeeper as one word, but make proof-reader two. He makes postmaster one word, post-office a compound. The Chicago Proofreaders’ Association is more consistent in such cases, printing all words of this type in the solidified form.
The following list is believed to be more consistent than the Standard-Teall handling of the same words, and is therefore preferred:
[42.] Some Examples. (a) Words denoting an occupation or calling, as baggagemaster, bagmaker, watchmaker, proofreader, bricklayer.
(b) Words denoting a connecting use, as barnyard, crosshead, carwheel, footboard, gaspipe.
(c) Words denoting a state of being, as motherhood, fatherhood, widowhood.
(d) Words that are pronounced as one word and usually printed as such, as claptrap, crackerjack, daredevil, haphazard.
