attracted, suffixed Explanation: I found it in a major Greek dictionary, where the use in linguistics is explicitly specified.

added "i" Explanation: it should be "efelcistica" ("efelkustikos")... it just means that the "i" has been added between the root and the suffix. This generally happens with the "n" ('n' efelcistico, or mobile). see: http://utenti.lycos.it/latinogreco/grammgr/iato.html and http://guide.supereva.it/grecia_antica/interventi/2002/04/10... I'm afraid both sites are in Italian. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-26 09:09:06 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- although I agree with the term \"suffixed\" proposed by both colleagues, there is the added problem of a potential repetition of the word \"suffix\". My suggestion would be... between the root esv and the suffix sc, the mobile vowel \"i\" has been inserted. In the second link, the \"ephelcistic\" wovel is called \"mobile\".
