As far as I know, "preverb" and "prefix" are two
different words. Yet again, there is no IE "prefix" to
be discussed here so why bring it up, Miguel??? This
simply has no bearing on what we are discussing! We
weren't talking about preverbs, we were talking about
_prefixes_ (of which there are none that can be said
to be particularly ancient in Indo-European).
