"If a has a lion house"? I don't get it. --Trovatore 19:50, 13 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

A lion house like at the zoo (maybe not the best example -- in good zoos, lions are now kept in "enclosures"...). AnonMoos (talk) 00:10, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Can anyone think of a better example, or a few other examples. The article is not exactly clear.Meatsgains (talk) 00:16, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
There are zillions -- a wheelchair is a kind of chair, housepaint is a kind of paint, a ladybug is a kind of bug, etc. etc. Exocentric compounds such as "paperback" are actually much rarer... AnonMoos (talk) 09:28, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
