Is there ever a situation where a compound word ends and after it immediately a new word starts, without any hiragana between the two words? I'd imagine that is very likely possible but since I haven't read anything 'more advanced' text, I don't know. In that situation I'd just need to know where the word ends and a new one starts?
Sounds fucking hard with words like 自動販売機 to know where they end.
