Talk:nigh-

This isn't really a prefix, is it? It's just the word joined to another with a hyphen, more like a combining form. A prefix is not a word in its own right but forms words by being combined with others (eg, "tri-", forming "triangle", etc). This is more like a combining form. &mdash; Paul G 13:23, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Aye, you're probably right. --Vladisdead 13:31, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * And not a common one at that. It is well-nigh time to do something about it. DCDuring TALK 17:33, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Deletion debate
This is covered by nigh, I believe. The two 2004 discussants thought it was a combining form not a prefix, changed the PoS header to one not compliant with current ELE. Might be worth a redirect to "nigh". DCDuring TALK 17:37, 24 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed, delete. However, I oppose the redirect, since it's likely to end up in etymology sections if it's a blue, rather than a red, link.  — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 09:41, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, probably no redirect. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:47, 25 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Deleted, and with it goes yet-another invalid POS header. Conrad.Irwin 00:57, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
