That makes sense, but seems like incorrect behavior for this instance.

Not quite :), I just picked a random German word and appended anther u
to it for testing. I suppose my example could have been Kuhlstuhl. I
am actually working on a German Noun/Verb helper, all it will do is
conjugate the verb/noun according to proper grammatical rules. ie der
Fisch -> die Fische etc... der Stuhl -> die St�hle

I was just worrying about compound nouns where the final noun is what
is conjugated.

Yes I DO have too much time on my hands right now.
