Actually, you have hit upon a frequent problem. English word often do not have forms for situations.



My wife, the technical writer, tends to suggest that re-phrasing to use a word found in the dictionary is best.



Crafting word forms is a slippery slope.



Two teaspoonsful



could be



use 2 teaspoons of "x"

Although teaspoonsful sounds better, it should actually be teaspoonfuls.
