  All these prefixes are in dictionaries. Get yourself a thesaurus.

  Try Fowlers 'The King's English' and Gowers on English usage. Try Leo Rosten's dictionary on Yinglish to see how a dictionary can be informative and very funny.

  I, for one, am so grateful for all of the above and earlier clear advice and direction from TK on the study of linguistics, if somewhat HYPERBOLIC, but I must confess that I still cannot equate the two apparently opposing statements, above, from him. Must really try to enter the hyper real world that might make sense of it.

  BTW. Duugghhh ! ! What is a thesaurus? Is it some kind of dinosaurus ? Do you need a licence to own one?
  Laugh ??! !...........................I thought I would never start.
