http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/inter

1)
how is it justified with the phrase interstate highways...

or should it be inter space state highway..

2)trying to figure the above to solve the below puzzle...
can you give examples of two letter word that may follow the inter?

the eventual trivia is to find the final piece:

Many words other than 'prove' could have fit there, and some of them admit something other than 'im' in the middle.
I'm only making suggestions, I offered two more already. We don't know enough about the puzzle to offer an actual answer.

>>inter (im) prove
what could its meaning be?
inter__moral
could give
interim-immoral
or
interne-nemoral
? "is not a word in English was it supposed to be? "

that reminds me when I took an etymology class many years ago -- it was fun making up words from roots and then looking them up to see if they were in the dictionary ;) ~
inter, né
interne, cions
internecions
are all English words, if that's the kind of construction you were seeking.

>>interim-immoral

i did not make it clear..
there will be a space between the words..

inter<space><2ndWordwith2letters><space><3rdWordwith5letters>

all 3 words should have meaning.. and ideally, will have a phrase that makes sense, also, being together..

>>Inter in peace.
does it give a meaning.. what could the meaning be?

>>intercadence      ca      dence
wont fit.. as ca is not a normal english word we use in sentence?
inter in earth - bury in the ground?
inter in earth
and make it snappy
inter by today :-)
