If you look at the back of that book, there was a whole series of "in Words of One Syllable" books. Their revamp of Robinson Crusoe required some hyphenation to meet the criteria. All were published by the Henry Altemus Company of Philadelphia around the year 1900. https://henryaltemus.com/series/series137.htm https://henryaltemus.com/series/series137.htm
- stronglikedan 1y agoEven this one required hyphenation as pointed out by another commenter (search "butch-er").
- saghm 1y agoI feel like it wouldn't be that hard to convey the same meaning of "butcher" with one syllable words. If it's the noun, you could say something like "one who cuts meat for their job", and if it's the verb, you could say something like "cut in the same way as meat".
