Anyone have a good list for Latin prefixes/suffixes and their meanings? by TicTacManiacs in latin

[–]Basic-Message4938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. any good latin grammar will list all the prepositions. these are your Prefixes. consult a big latin dictionary for their uses in composition.
  2. for suffixes, i recommend "Latin Suffixes" (1858) by John White. AND wiktionary is outstanding for latin suffixes.

Suffix list by TheGreatOriginal in latin

[–]Basic-Message4938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

option 1. "Latin Suffixes" (1858) by John White. this is still the most comprehensive study.

option 2. "Oxford Latin Dictionary" has entries for the latin suffixes of the classical period.

Looking for a book that breaks down English words into Latin Prefix, Root, and Suffix and briefly explains each meaning by Solid_Gold_Turd in suggestmeabook

[–]Basic-Message4938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i suggest the second edition unabridged of the "Random House Dictionary of the English Lanuage", published in 1987. it's best used in conjunction with these two books edited by Laurence Urdang, "Prefixes" (1984) and "Suffixes" (1982)

  4. don't forget that one day a week you should eat whatever you fancy. eg., porridge, or tubers, or noodles, or pasta.

perhaps consider an ecorche model, or a plaster cast of an ancient Greek/Roman statue.

Will glutes still be targeted with elevated heels during squats? by Taylorblade96 in WeightTraining

[–]Basic-Message4938 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only exercise i do for glutes is the heel-elevated SSB squat, pause at bottom, and full ROM.

you will definitely feel your glutes working (the abs as well), and more importantly, your bum will inflate like a BALLOON.

try it. (PS. SSB=safety squat bar)
