Speaking as a Chinese person, there is a single Chinese word(河)for 'river', which is not derived from the Chinese term(流水)for 'running water'.
Thanks, Matthew.
I don't know any Chinese, so I just made that up as an example. Maybe you could provide a better, 'real' example of where Chinese combines syllables?
I think my overall point was still correct though, yes?
