Problem with dictionary entries

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Linda,
     Compounds are not yet properly configured in Danish.  It would only take me an hour or so to reconfigure the n+n.cut file to do this correctly.  I think it best to work out some of these details between the two of us.  So, let's take this conversation off the mailing list and send a post once we have ironed out the wrinkles.

As part of this work, I have created a new file in the Danish library, and in this file I'm entering all the Danish words that were not already in the library. The problem is that there are certain words that the dictionary fails to recognize. This is despite that I have entered these words into the dictionary. The dictionary contains, for instance,
