dir-

Latin. This prefix doesn't really exist; the two verbs said to be derived from it are just regularly rhotacised forms with dis-. This, that and the other (talk) 11:23, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

@This, that and the other We have many other examples of alternative forms of prefixes caused by no-longer-predictable sound changes, which is exactly the case here, so I would vote keep. (BTW I realize now I forgot to get to your request for Latin module documentation; I'll try to get to it tomorrow, going to bed now.) Benwing2 (talk) 07:37, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Delete. Not a real prefix, not needed in etymologies, and nobody will go looking for it specifically. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 17:51, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Keep per Benwing. ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 17:17, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I'd delete. The rhotacism is already mentioned in those verbs' etymologies, and that can be expanded if needed. Nicodene (talk) 17:31, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Delete per proponent. PUC – 14:13, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
