Compound Fractures: All or Nothing Cutthroats

I’m hard at work on my abstract for SHEL-9/DSNA-20 happening next June. I hope to present some of my work, mostly for the feedback and advice I’ll hear from the esteemed attendees.

In my 2012 dissertation, I discovered a sub-set of cutthroats that described cleaning products, all of which ending in -ALL. I don’t need to determine their membership for the abstract, but as a break I’m going to list the -ALL compounds I currently have, and all of the -NOTHING and -NOUGHT  and -LITTLE compounds.
