@Nat093,
"How should I understand the fact that "prepositions are not permitted" in compounds?"
Who says it's a fact? Who says it's not permitted?
I would question anyone who claims such a fact or who deigns to give permission. There's nowhere that says that prepositions are not permitted in compounds. Who would say such a thing?
Language is a living, fluid, and almost elusive thing. As soon as you think you understand it, it devilishly slips the other way.
New words come in, new compounds are made, new meanings attached to words that once meant something else.
In addition to the written language, getting the correct meaning behind the spoken language can be even more challenging.
For example, "There's a bit of a drip outside."
Spoken by an American that might mean the outside faucet is leaking, but by someone in Great Britain, perhaps, the speaker might be employing understatement and actually be referring to a deluge.
I question anyone who claims a fact in language. As soon as something in language does become a fact, it quickly morphs into something else.
