Prefix usage
I'm not 100% sure on these uses, but considering the adverbs and prepositions it makes sense. From the Gothic verbs,, as originally allative in meaning, seems to be used more with motion forward, where , being originally locative, seems to be used more with a set location in time or space, "beforehand", "in front of". So more or less, I would guess the difference between the two prefixes would be the difference between / and /.

Although Gothic shows other meanings as well,  seems to mean both "to speak against" as well as "to speak for, on behalf of", and,  show perfective meaning, I think.

As I said, I'm not 100% on this, this is just what I could come up with so far. Anglom (talk) 05:21, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
