Hello,

I'd like to merge various words with "stratified" on the left. Can you let me know in which cases a hyphen should be used?

Stratified + Closed = Straticlosed? Or Strati-closed?

Stratified + Factive = Stratifactive? Or Strati-factive? Or even Stratrofactive?

Stratified + Reasoning: Stratireasoning? Strati-reasoning? Stratroreasoning?

Stratified + Validity: Strativalidity? Strati-validity? Stratrovalidity?

Stratified + Introspection: would Stratrospection be legit?

Stratified + Necessitation: Stratrinecessitation? Strati-necessitation? etc?

Thanks for helping! :)

-Sam

When any of us coins a new word, this is up to the
creator. No external rules govern what you prefer to do.
