The examples discussed in the literature suggest that in compounds of this type, the SASS usually follows the lexical sign.
An example of this type in LIS is memory^SASS(flat open 5): ‘rectangular_prism’, meaning ‘hard drive’, already shown in the previous paragraph and repeated here.
memory^SASS(flat open 5): ‘rectangular_prism’
‘Hard disk’ (recreated from Santoro, 2018: 41)
In LIS, it is also possible to find compounds in which the SASS is followed by a core sign. An example of this type of compound is the sign for ‘driving license’.
SASS(curved open L): ‘rectangular’^drive
‘Driving license’ (recreated from Santoro, 2018: 58)
This is a sequential compound in which the first member is a SASS classifier which shows the shape of the driving license and the second member is the core sign for ‘drive’.
