French term or phrase: Composes associes coherence de la recherche de lexie par debut de mot
Hello, Friends (again....)

What do you make of this sentence? Again this is a string and the accents are not there, plus it looks like it needs a dash or something between "associés" and "coherence", no? This is the main problem for me.

Anyway, I am tearing my hair to figure out what exactly they are meaning with this.

Sentence in question:

Composes associes coherence de la recherche de lexie par debut de mot

Any ideas will be very welcome.

Explanation:
I agree about the dash, but this is really just a guess, in the absence of context

Thanks, all gave good help, this was really hard. I found out that this was a file that a tester had used to pinpoint problems in a beta-program. That helped a lot, but it was still a toughy.
Thanks so much for helping!!!

Explanation:
by beginning of the word.

I think associés and composés go together with mots
MOTS COMPOSES [ET] ASSOCIES
and the rest is a separate phrase

Explanation:
Wow! If I'm right, that is some BAD French. I THINK they mean, "For coherence (or better results) when researching the lexicon (word list) look composite and associated words up by their beginnings. Good luck, hun!

Yes, a composite word is a compound word. Sorry about that.
