Subject: compounds words missing one l

The word alright is a compound word made from all and right. You can write in
both ways: alright and all right, but you can't say allright.

Some compounds words ending in full also looses a letter l. Examples:

beautiful from beauty and full

helpful from help and full

meaningful from meaning and full

Do you know more examples of compounds words ending in -ful?

The opposite compound word is ending in -less, but not always is possible. In
my dictionary doesn't exist beautyless, but do exists helpless and meaningless.

There are also some compound words ending in -less but doesn't exists the
compound word ending in -ful.

An example:

The word tireless exists but in my dictionary doesn't exists the word tireful.I
think you have to say tired, very tired or something similar.

Please, if you know more words ending un -ful and in -less, please send them to
us. I am in some and other lists like this one and we can made a helpful list
of words ending in -ful and -less.
