Contraction for “after” in Lesson 11 Sentence 26

[Chris Clemens]

I just wanted clarification for why you cannot use the contraction for "after" in the name Hereafter Hollow, but you can use the contraction for "here".

[Chris Clemens]

Hello,

In this instance, "Hereafter Hollow" is a Proper name. Section11.8 in the instruction manual speaks to Short-Form Words in Proper Names and Rule XVI.47.b in EBAE tells us that a short-form word should be used as the whole proper name only. In the instance of "Herafter," that is a compound word with two short-forms and thus cannot be used.

I hope this helps. 🙂
