ABSTRACT
All three forms are also used as prefixes with a different value, un-as privative (see 26.4), in-from the preposition (see 27.4) and a-as a native prefix (see 27.3).
stressing and the strong negative force of the prefix un-, which is usually felt as an independent semantic unit, lead in most cases to even stress on the two elements of the word. Thus when the word following un-begins with a strong stress: 'un'juat, 'un'truthful, lun'muaical, lun'aided, lun1cultured, lun1erring, 'un'licenaetl, etc.
