Obs. When two nouns come together in construction the
article can be used only with the second ; and even if the
second does not admit of the article it cannot precede the
first noun, as above cop An fin, the foot of the man. "We

and is universal except when the word is a compound as
above : An fin-f-eAfA, of the man of knowledge.
