+==== Usage notes ====
+* The prefix causes gemination of the following consonant if possible, e.g. ''ho-'' + {{m|lfv|dant|t=wolf}} → {{m|lfv|ho'''dd'''ant|t=he-wolf, male wolf}}.
+* This prefix is typically used with animals but it can also be used with plants.
+* If used with nouns referring to people, the prefixed noun typically becomes derogatory in meaning.
