I don't think that counts as a proper noun?  I'm not sure.

Uh I wasn't exactly sure about the rules... there have been multi-word clue before, no? Sorry if I messed up, but giving another tip would be stupid now, right? We could do some compensation like reveal a random red word if you feel it's against the rules. Anyway it's a single noun in German :P

Multiple words are only allowed for proper nouns, i.e. a specific thing, like a book title or a specific person or place.

Eevee will have to decide whether to call for a penalty or not.  I can't check right now but I think the rule book recommendation is immediate turn end and flip a word of opposing spy master's choice.

But FWIW, I only see one obvious word anyway. :P

PPE: it's not a proper noun because there are different air forces out there, right?

Centuries later, archaeologists discover the remains of your ancient civilization.

Evidence of thriving towns, Pottery, roads, and a centralized government amaze the startled scientists.

Finally, they come upon a stone tablet, which contains but one mysterious phrase!

'ISOTROPIC WILL RETURN!'

So if I named a specific air force, that would have been allowed, even though it conveys more information?

Yeah.  Note that conveying more specific info can be a disadvantage in Codenames.

Since multiple people have chimed in with approval, I'll just go ahead and put in the obvious guess:

Fly

Depending on Weber's take, we can retroactively penalize if necessary.

No penalty of course. Next time err on the side of being strict if it's close seems plenty fair.

I think the ultimate rule is just to ask the spymaster of the other team

That was supposed to be "Eevee", of course.  That autocorrect. :P

The German rules frown at the German practice of chaining nouns out of thin air.

we've resigned to playing in english with my finnish friends for this reason. you can chain almost any two words together in finnish and it's grammatically correct. makes the game less interesting.

I think common practice for such games is to require the word to be included in the "Duden". (a standard dictionary for the German language) Of course I haven't seen the German ruleset for this particular game.
