For example, when asked to talk about untruthfulness they rarely focus on the meaning of morphemes such as -th or -ness. There are also lexemes such as "black and white" or "do-it-yourself", which, although consisting of multiple words, still form a single collocation with a set meaning. The prototypical example of this rule comes from Sanskrit; however, initial consonant mutation in contemporary Celtic languages or the linking r phenomenon in some non-rhotic English dialects can also be used to illustrate word boundaries.

Orthographic boundaries: Word separators, such as spaces and punctuation marks can be used to distinguish single words.

Another option you have is choosing the number of syllables of the words or the word length of the randomized words.
