Rules for using Combining Vowels • 1. A combing vowel is used when the suffix begins with a consonant. • Example: neur/o (nerve) is joined with the suffix –plasty (surgical repair) the combining vowel O is used because – plasty begins with a consonant. Neur/o/plasty

Rules for using Combining Vowels • 2. A combining vowel is not used when the suffix begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). • Example: when neur/o (nerve) is joined with the suffix – itis (inflammation), the combinng vowel is not used because –itis begin with a vowel. Neuritis

Rules for using Combining Vowels • 3. A combining vowel is always used when two or more root words are joined. • Example: when gastr/o (stomach) is joined with enter/o (small intestine), the combining vowel is used with gastr/o. However, when the suffix –itis (inflammation) is added, the combining vowel is not used with enter/o because –itis begins with a vowel. Gastroenteritis

Rules for using Combining Vowels • 4. A prefix does not require a combining vowel. Do not place a combining vowel between a prefix and the word root.

practice • Circle the prefix, underline the word root, square the suffix, indicate combining vowel with / /

A suffix always come at the end of the word • Prefixes usually, but not always, indicate location, time, number, or status. A prefix always come at the beginning of a word. • Review ALL charts from packets

Taking Terms Apart • To determine a word’s meaning by looking at the component pieces, you must first separate it into word parts. • 1. Always start at the end of the word, with the suffix, and work toward the beginning. • 2. As you separate the word parts, identify the meaning of each. Identifying the meaning of each part should give you a definition of the term. • 3. Because some word parts have more than one meaning, it also is necessary to determine the context in which the term is being used.
