Appendix 8 Forming Nouns and Adjectives

Here we add one that is not included in EDBH for some reason (one must always ponder why?). I will also say there may be others. This is what I see at this point.

This could be part of #7, which speaks of מ as a suffix, as it will be adding מ as a prefix. However, we will call this #11, just to follow after EDBH. I will give some examples, but it is definitely not an exhaustive list.

11) Add a מ as a prefix to a three-letter root.
