Associativity and splitting of three compound names
up vote

favorite
Pre-question (answered here): Is there a compound word A|B with original components A and B that might be slit as A'|B' if A borrows some letters from B (or the other way around) to form A', and B' keeps the rest?
With that background:
Is there a word with three components A|B|C such that diverse associativity interpretations could lead to alternative meanings? Like (A|B)|C being different from A|(B|C) ? Or reorganizing
A'|B'|C' by creating new words with order and letter conservation?

Yes, it is only proper German with a space in between, but I needed an example (even if it not fully matches). Would the components A, B, A' and B' need to be valid words when they are not used within the compound words? And are there limitations to their word classes?

Would Ei|dotter <> EId|otter be a better example? I found it in Hubert's answer to this question.

@Marzipanherz Yes, I was thinking of A,B,A' and B' having to be all valid words (or A' and A prefixes and or B or B' sufixes). No limitation of word classes, I just find that in Scrabble those words should count twice :D I see my question is a dupe, thanks for the info.

Example for a word with 3 components:
Die Fensterheberzeit (die Zeit, die der Heber für eine vollständige
Öffnung oder Schließung benötigt) liegt bei diesem Fahrzeug bei gerade
einmal 1,2 Sekunden.
Wer kurbelt denn heute noch, wir leben doch längst in einer Fensterheberzeit!

A classical example for such a word is Staubecken which can be read as Stau-becken (from stauen and Becken) or Staub-ecken (from Staub and Ecke).
However, the two possibilites differ in number, as the former is singular and the latter is plural.
