Hum, not really.
Trying to find out how many "noun clause" there is in that passage. There is a wh-cleft setting the o.d. as a focus. But not sure how many noun clause there is.
what he spent, can we can which he spend, so it would be a relative clause and not a noun clause?

Then say what you mean-- your posts are very sloppily composed, which wastes our time trying to figure them out.
There are 3 noun clauses in the passage:
What Foote was describing
what he has spent and will spend years more delinating
what's old

There is a wh-cleft setting the o.d. as a focus. But not sure how many noun clause there is.
what he spent, can we can which he spend, so it would be a relative clause and not a noun clause?
