masi-
/masi-/
Data Qual: Is this a prefix or a free standing word? "masi keen ka bisita", "masi sinehew ka me etew te pegkarineg dan te wali", "masi iindes me mengebay su nakakeen te kahew", "masi eetut ka me malitan su nakakeen te bins"
Data Qual: I think it is a real prefix because it always at the beggining of the root word and we can never use it for a sentence alone [QDL]
Data Qual: That doesn't necessarily mean it's a prefix. Does it feel like it changes the meaning of the verb (e.g., like egpakig-)? But maybe it is really a "collective" prefix? [RJH]
