To these is to be added another class of specimens wherein 

 the real verb is composed of two words, a general verb and a 

 specifying preposition or adverb, such as to lock up. They 

 are here separated from the foregoing list simply because the 

 grammarian and printer have accustomed us to consider the 

 compounded words as a true compound in the noun but not 

 in the verb. They write the parts either together or with a 

 h3'phen when a noun, as the lockup, but when used as a verb 

 they write and parse the words as separate parts of speech, as 

 to lock 7ip. This is probably a result of the accent falling on 

 the first syllable when used as a noun. A few writers, recog- 

 nizing the fact that the two words are a compound when used 

 as a verb, hyphenate them, writing, for example, to make-up 

 as well as the viake-up. Grammatically and logically, the}^ 

 belong with the foregoing list. The following are examples:
