Derivational Prefixes

If you do not know what these are, see Morphology | Derivation.

Some definitions of some prefixes are not absolute; this is simply a general idea of what each often means. Not every word can take every prefix, and the same prefix does not always mean the same thing on every word. However, some prefixes always apply on a word and always mean the same thing. Refer to the “Per Word?” column in the table below (if it is “No”, then it applies to all words under its conditions (stated in the definition) and always means the same thing)
