Prefixes

1 min read · 99 words

Celestial has a number of prefixes that can be attached to the beginning of a word, usually a noun, to imply something about its nature or current status. Some of these prefixes are used to form natural words, whilst others are added at the speaker or writer's discretion.

Using multiple prefixes at the start of a word (e.g. pipipivoden pipipivoden - a very, very small dog) can be considered childish in certain situations, but is often used in others to emphasize something intensely. Discretion is advised in formal situations.
Each of these prefixes is marked in the Dictionary.
