Answer 2

Your question may be about when to use hyphens in compound adjectives, in this case, two-armed man.

This site gives a coherent explanation of when to use hyphens in adjectives:

Here are some rules from a university site:

Hyphens and compound words: Definitions and general rules

Compounds, or a combination of words regarded as a unit, take three forms: spelled as separate words (open compound); joined by a hyphen(s) (hyphenated compound); and spelled as one word (solid compound).

Campus style for hyphens and compound words

Examples: campuswide, combined degree program, course work, credit-no credit (Do not use virgule [/]), grade point average, home page, summer session, vice chancellor, vice president. In the case of "advanced level," hyphenate when it is used as an adjective (advanced-level courses).
Telephone numbers

Place the area code in parentheses: [phone]. If the area code appears in parenthetical text, use hyphens: 217-333-1000.
Prefixes and suffixes

Don’t hyphenate words with a prefix. Example: Preprofessional

Use a hyphen with prefixes that are not words. Example: post-master’s degree

Miscellaneous: E-mail, e-mail

Capitalize and hyphenate at the beginning of a sentence. Example: E-mail is one method of modern communication. Lowercase and hyphenate e-mail when it appears in a sentence. Example: Modern communication methods include e-mail, instant messaging, and blogging.
