Re: BRYONET: Bryonet: Etymologies of Bryophyte Names

BRYONET

Dear Lily,

There is a very nice dictionary of prefixes, suffixes and combining forms
that you can download for free in the following address:

http://showtime.arkansasonline.com/spellingbee/site/images/pre_suf_comb.pdf

I have found it a great source for finding out the roots of moss names
(either Greek or Latin).

Take care!
