Definitions

an interfix, -s-, inserted in compound words

Examples

“Af disse sidstnævnte findes dels det såkaldte fuge-s, dels fuge-e.”

Of these lastly-mentioned, both the so-called joining s and the joining e exist.

“Hvis ordet derimod ikke står i den danske IS-ordbog, benyttes reglerne for sammensatte ord, ordet splittes i parlament og bygning, der oversættes hver for sig. (Fuge-s'et kan smides væk, det er særsprogligt og har ikke betydning for oversættelsen.)”

If, however, the word is not listed in the Danish IS-dictionary, the rules of compound words are used, the word is split into parliament and building, which are translated individually. (The joining s may be disposed of, it is particular to a language and holds no importance for the translation.)
