OBS

nouveau-né : La forme plurielle de ce terme est «nouveau-nés». Le mot «nouveau» a perdu ses fonctions grammaticales comme adjectif en se joignant à «né» pour former le nom composé. Toutefois, certains auteurs ont utilisé la forme plurielle «nouveaux-nés», contrevenant ainsi aux règles linguistiques françaises.
