   • 2013, Klaus Ulrik Keel, Sprogrigtig tekstredaktion, Lindhardt og Ringhof (ISBN 9788711389287)

     Af disse sidstnævnte findes dels det såkaldte fuge-s, dels fuge-e.

     Of these lastly-mentioned, both the so-called joining s and the joining e exist.

     Hvis ordet derimod ikke står i den danske IS-ordbog, benyttes reglerne for sammensatte ord, ordet splittes i parlament og bygning, der oversættes hver for sig. (Fuge-s'et kan smides væk, det er særsprogligt og har ikke betydning for oversættelsen.)

     If, however, the word is not listed in the Danish IS-dictionary, the rules of compound words are used, the word is split into parliament and building, which are translated individually. (The joining s may be disposed of, it is particular to a language and holds no importance for the translation.)
