UNDER RULE XIV.—­OF COMPOUNDS.

“The glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward.”—­COMMON BIBLES:  Isa., lviii, 8.

[FORMULE—­Not proper, because the compound word “rereward” has not here the orthography of the two simple words rear and ward, which compose it.  But, according to Rule 14th, “Compounds generally retain the orthography of the simple words which compose them.”  And, the accent being here unfixed, a hyphen is proper.  Therefore, this word should be spelled thus, rear-ward.]
