Bruso:David Jordan (in "Colloquial Esperanto" ) gives a contrived but amusing example of agglutination gone mad:To follow up on my other post, the expression "Orange County gun control activist hater" is very confusing to me. Does this mean :
Oranĝkantonpafillimigaktivulmalamanto
(Orange County gun control activist hater)
1. Someone who hates gun control activists from or in Orange Country (but may love gun control activists in other counties).
2. Someone who lives in Orange country and hates ALL gun control activists.
3. [Unlikely] An orange-colored hater of county gun control activists.
etc.
Frankly, the Esperanto version is equally confusing

Amike,
Paul

"Oranĝkantona malamanto de aktivuloj pri limigo de pafiloj "
... as a comprehensible version, which looks like (2), if I understand both you and Jordan.
