I have no idea what you mean by that comment. Is that agreement
or disagreement? (02)
>> But in English, a Noun-Noun phrase simply means that Noun1 has some

> I'm afraid I'm going to have to refer your remark to the attorney
> general, you egghead. (03)
Examples: (04)
'steamer clam' -- a clam that is cooked by steaming. (05)
'steamer duck' -- a duck that flaps its wings like
a paddle-wheel steamer. (06)
Such examples can be iterated endlessly. (07)
