I can't believe English is the only language we have on this page. It's a bit shocking. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:33, 8 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

But not too surprising. Prefixes and suffixes together are a sticky group that many people don't edit. --EncycloPetey 16:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

English, "terms derived using en- as intensifier" section

[edit]

For every word in this section the prefix can be interpreted as "in, into". Any clear delimitation? 176.221.120.207 16:20, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for mentioning that, I was wondering about that section too. I don't think that this section on en- intensifiers are accurate. To engirdle is to change the state of an entity from ungirdled into the state of being girdled (presumably with a girdle), but does not make the state of being girdled more so does it?
