Sequential word repetitions in the VMS

[cvetkakocj@rogers.com]

Are prefixes written adjacent to the words that follow them (concatenated), or are they written unconcatenated?

Hi, Ahmet,
from an article on Turkish grammar, I copied the following: In some languages, including Sindhi, Hindustani, Turkish, Hungarian, Korean, and Japanese, the same kinds of words typically come after their complement. To indicate this, they are called postpositions (using the prefix post-, from Latin post meaning 'behind, after)... Turkish has no prefixes.

This means that the similar ideas can be conveyed in Turkish by using suffix, or placing preposition at the back, than in some other languages that attach preposition or prefix in front of the word. In many cases, the prefixes were formed by combining preposition with a word to get the word slightly different meaning. In the dictionaries, you can recognize prefixes when you see pages of words starting with the same letter or syllable (like VM EVA-QO). You can see the same words (in the same grammatical form) without a prefix, or with different prefix. Often, a preposition was used as a prefix and when written together, it forms separate word. When it is meant to be a preposition, it is written separately. This was not always so: in the Slavic writing, the prepositions were often spelled together with the next word, then they were separated with the apostrophe.
