It does,  as in German Verb-ending vs.   Ver'bendung, be'inhaltend vs.
bein-haltend.  The  compounds words would become  easier to comprehend
when written with clearer  indication of the composition.  (I'm always
complaining that  the Germans don't  spell the glottal stop  that they
insert  between  syllable  boundaries  when  the  next  starts  a  new
morpheme.  Yiddish,  by contrast  does use the  aleph to  indicate the
glottal stop.)
