The hidden pictures inside words

A compound word is a tiny frozen picture — but the picture you see depends on which dictionary you read it in. The old gallery showed only what the English Wiktionary happened to tag. This one reads each language through its own dictionary, where German alone pulls apart thousands of compounds English never marked. Handschuh is a hand-shoe; Heimweg, the way-home; soutien-gorge, a throat-support.
