Compound Word

Combination of two words, where the first letter(s) of the first word is joined with the second word minus it's first letter(s). Based on the "Portmanteau".

Subject to rules/preferences.

1) If the first word starts with a vowel, a compound word is not possible.
2) The user can include only the first letter of the first word, or a string of letters leading up to the first vowel of the first word.
Ex. Street + Nuts = Suts, Stuts, or Struts.
3) The user can include only the first letter of the second word, or a string of letters leading up to the first vowel of the second word.
Ex. Super + Glue = Sue, or Slue.

There are two main mutually exclusive categories.

A "Prodrome" is itself an existing word, but by sound, not spelling.

Ex. Tall + Boy = Toy.
Ex. Man + Juice = Muice (sounds like Moose, therefore a Prodrome).
Ex. Cell + Phone = Cone (a word by spelling, but not when pronounced with a soft "C", therefore not a Prodrome).

A "Callidrome" is itself not an existing word by sound, spelling is irrelevant.

Ex. Fucking + Cunt = Funt.
Ex. Small + Pear = Sear (a word by spelling, but not when pronounced to rhyme with pear, therefore a Callidrome).

There are 3 sub-categories, not necessarily mutually exclusive of each other.

A "Synondrome" sounds identical to the second word.

Ex. Dirty + Dick = Dick.

An "Antidrome" sounds identical to the first word.
Ex. Cock + Block = Cock.

A "Collidodrome" keeps the entire second word.
Ex. Fat + Ass = Fass.
