But let me repeat myself: hyphens will not resolve any of the ambiguities I pointed out in the two phrases earlier in this thread.

Why not though?

Say you add a hyphen between baby and buggy in rubber baby-buggy bumpers does not "baby-buggy" then become the modifier of bumpers.

I'm not sure if modifier is the right term, there are those much more knowledgeable than I in terminology, but it is like when you say, an "all-out war", a second-hand book, a drawn-out speech...the hyphenated words elaborate on the final noun.

Wouldn’t that clear up the ambiguity? What am I not understanding?
