Document Summary
Coordinate compounds together rank and in which it is evident that the first element of each word qualifies the second. Ablaut are when two or more words of equal rank are linked. Subordinate compounds are words where the several components are not of equal is a stem vowel change. Bases connect with a vowel (usually i" but can be o") Some bases will just add an e to the end (typical of latin): There can be many prefixes and suffixes on bases: grav/e = heavy, fin/e = end. Latin and greek bases, suffixes, and prefixes can be combined within one word. Learning etymology can help in spelling: e. g. , exasperate = asper = rough vs. exacerbate = acerbus = bitter, harsh, sour. to exasperate, annoy, irritate vs. to make more intense or sharp, aggravate: e. g. , hypocrisy vs. hippocracy. Er(ot) = (sexual) love: distinguish phil = love that includes both sexual and non-sexual attachment.
