You are right, I found that there is very often just one more or less character, that makes the mechanically compounded word senseless and erroneous. However, this would cause the elimination of a lot of potentially good words, therefore this needs to be verified. Maybe this approach would spill the child with the bath water.
Best is to eliminate mechanic compounding completely, the sooner, the better.
I think *that* would be throwing away the child. In languages like Dutch
it is so easy to form a new but perfectly valid word by compounding, it
is impossible to include all the possible combinations in a word list.
It might an idea to identify problem cases by running the list of
known-good words through the suggestion mechanism, and making a list of
all the variations that are accepted (only) using the mechanical
compound mechanism. This list could then be reviewed and the words that
are incorrectly spelled and/or nonsensical placed on a "reject list".
