  • Numeral prefix

    Numeral or number prefixes are prefixes derived from numerals or occasionally other numbers. In English and other European languages, they are used to coin numerous series of words, such as unicycle – bicycle – tricycle, dyad – triad – decade, biped – quadruped, September – October – November – December, decimal – hexadecimal, sexagenarian – octogenarian, centipede – millipede, etc. There are two principal systems, taken from Latin and Greek, each with several subsystems; in addition, Sanskrit occupies a marginal position. There is also an international set of metric prefixes, which are used in the metric system, and which for the most part are either distorted from the forms below or not based on actual number words.

    Table of number prefixes in English

    In the following prefixes, a final vowel is normally dropped before a root that begins with a vowel, with the exceptions of bi-, which is bis- before a vowel, and of the other monosyllables, du-, di-, dvi-, tri-, which are invariable.

    Quint (fire apparatus)

    A quintuple combination pumper or quint is a fire service apparatus that serves the dual purpose of an engine and a ladder truck. The name quint is derived from the Latin prefix quinque-, meaning five, and refers to the five functions that a quint provides: pump, water tank, fire hose, aerial device, and ground ladders.

    Så nära ligger sömnen
    under alla täcken sval
    svept och gömd i filtar
    plast, nylon, cellofan
    Min mun vid termometern
    fuskar Mig febersvag
    & det känns som om
    Jag glömt någonting kvar?
    Jag tappar mina kläder
    Jag tappar värmen
    grad för grad
    Nu skakar Mina händer
    värre varje dag
    som cesium & syre
    brinner Jag alldeles klart
    & det känns som om
    Jag glömt någonting kvar?
    Refr:
    Hon är vaken
    Jag vet att hon är vaken
    Jag är vaken
    Hon vet att Jag är vaken
    Vi är vakna
    Visst syns det att Vi
    vaknat nyss
    och väntar?
    Så nära känner lukten
    nu kan Jag slappna av
    & utanför på trappan
    får frosten Dig att tappa tag
    Det har hunnit bli oktober
    nu fryser gräset & går av
    & Jag hatar allt
    som böjs & går av
    Refr.
    Tänk om Jag har fel
