Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Sanskrit प्रति- (prati-).
Prefix
[edit]paṭi-
- Verbal prefix:
- back (to)
- towards
- against, in opposition to, opposite
Usage notes
[edit]Before vowels, the prefix normally occurs as the non-productive pacc- as a result of inheritance from -ty- cluster occuring due to Sanskrit sandhi. The choice between paṭi- and pati- is unrelated to meaning.
