pospanamax; postpanamax: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, recomienda escribir los dos elementos en "pospanamax" unidos sin espacio ni guion intermedios. Indica asimismo que la forma sin "t", "pospanamax", es preferible a "postpanamax" y que al tratarse de nombres comunes de tipos de barcos lo adecuado es escribirlos en minúscula y sin necesidad de comillas ni cursiva. 1, record 1, Spanish, - pospanamax
