Bartender is special in that it’s both a regular compound word and a nested compound word. For this project I’ve been omitting regular compounds

How many words have this property? It’s up for debate. Finding them depends on what you want to count as words. I disagree with “et,” “lin,” and “de” found in these images, but the rest are pretty good examples. I estimate that a fluent English speaker would recognize around 2,000 nested compounds.
