Sranan Tongo terms composed of two or more stems.




In the official orthography of Sranan Tongo of 1986, most compound nouns are written as two separate words. It is common practice, though, to write them as a single word, and especially so when the compound has a more specific or specialized meaning than follows from the separate meanings of the constituents. So the common spelling for a water buffalo is watrakow, not watra kow (literally, "water cow"). If the composition brings two vowels together in adjacent positions, it is, moreover, common to separate them with a hyphen: watra-agu (capibara, literally "water pig"), not watraagu).
