| May 6, 2017 at 23:21 | comment | added | vectorious | @KateBunting: To use different examples, "book shelf" or "tool shed" are common, the plural generally isn't except for pluralisms like "parents". Arguably, "couples" could be understood as a pluralism within the compound noun, because "a wedding couple dance" would be a different thing. The tendency to use the possessive "'s" is separate from the plural s, german has the Fugen-S, but different plural forms, however the Fugen-S is not always used (Paartanz vs Paarestanz) and likewise not needed in English, because English is analytic. | |
