About

This list was generated by first taking a letter from the alphabet, or any of the initial cluster set of phonesthemes compiled by the ingenious Benjamin Shisler) and then sticking one of the suffixes below onto it.

The suffixes below traditionally bring an extra descriptive quality to a Latin/Greek root, and aren't generally used for this purpose: to bring character to the letters themselves.

For example, the word king is meant to be seen as k-ing--that is, verbing with a k-like quality.

SUFFIX LIST:
-al, -ant, -ate, -ed, -ent, -est, -ise, -ish, -ism, -ist, -ize, -ing, -oid, -ose
