    Tam laigieldan Hyphen - va zah gige pen ei leh ei kisugim maimai i hi uhhi, nu leh pa=parent=father and mother, as simple as that, why do we burden ourselves by putting meaningless Hyphen -. It does not simplify instead it burdens one's writings. I am totally against putting Hyphen in between compound/pairs nouns.
