Usage notes
The suffix -less is not usually hyphenated. Gary Rosenberg has mentioned that shellless is "a word that I keep trying to slip into professional papers (I'm a malacologist by trade), but so far no editor has let it stand." The unhyphenated spelling, though suggested, is not currently found in any major dictionary.
