Oh yeah.. Lingua::EN.. well now I feel dumb, maybe I wasn't
searching for specifics. Still reading about these modules,
I'm inspired to help out. I had a few ideas as far as word
comparison. I'm not academically qualified as a linguist,
but, there seems to be two different type of word roots:
ones that are in our common lexicon and ones that are deeper
into the etymological roots of the language.<br>
<br>
Now how to find the roots without going too deep and how to
distinguish between combining forms and regular suffixes/prefixes is the problem, since it isn't an exact science (at least not in it's simplest form)...
quasi- is a combining form, not a prefix; mis- and anti- are prefixes.
Then there are noun and verb combining forms vs. suffixes.<br>
<br>
What a mess, who designed this language anyway? Gee, thanks
a lot human history.. for providing the clean cut and well thought out
natural languages that we have today. Talk about taking a legacy
to the extreme! Sheesh. :)
