Can 複合動詞{ふくごうどうし} ever not have [送]{おく}り[仮名]{がな} placed between the 2 kanji？


Can 複合動詞{ふくごうどうし} ever not have [送]{おく}り[仮名]{がな} placed between the 2 kanji in
the compound verb？




Yes, it's possible if the 連用形{れんようけい} of the first verb does not have
okurigana. For example:

  * `見{み}る` → `見-` → `見上{みあ}げる`
  * `着{き}る` → `着-` → `着始{きはじ}める`
  * `寝{ね}る` → `寝-` → `寝落{ねお}ちる`

And so on.

Even in cases when the compound verb does have middle okurigana, it may be
omitted for brevity, e.g. especially in newspapers. With nouns created from
such verbs even the ending okurigana may be dropped if the word is common
enough:

  * `引{ひ}き取{と}り` → `引取{ひきと}り` → `引取{ひきとり}`.
  * `受{う}け付{つ}け` → `受付{うけつ}け` → `受付{うけつけ}`

(I think `受付` is actually the prevalent form these days)
