Compare the instances following later. — Some of
the examples just given, of course, also illustrate the first

As regards the adjectival part of the compound there
does not seem to be any special fondness for any
particular category of adjectives. Possibly, however, the
many-compounds show some tendency of this kind:
II, 205, The goodly, the golden-gated,
Many-crowned, many-named, many-citied,
Made like as a bride . . .
281, O many-wounded mother, O redeemed to reign . . .
VI, 208, . . . Can slay not one of all the works we knew,
Nor death discrown the many-laurelled head . . .
Cf. I, 149, II, 12, 76, etc.
Many cases show comparison of the adjective within
the compound.
