 In Swedish it is common to concatenate words into one longer word. One
 example is the street name "Kungsgatan", formed by the words "kungs" and
 "gatan". The correct abbreviation for "Kungsgatan" is "Kungsg.". Searching
 for kungsg in Nominatim yeilds no result since the rewrite for
 abbreviation for gatan separates the two words into "kungs g". Searching
 for "kungs g " works fine but is plain wrong in Swedish.
