Inseparable Elements in Syntactic Compounds

     A particle in a Syntactic Compound may be joined with a significant word element that does not appear by itself in Latin.  The inseparable final word element of an adjectival Syntactic Compound may be formed from a substantival stem in the same ways described in the Special Terminations section.

• integer, with the particle in- and the inseparable element -teger,

• invītus, with the particle in- and the inseparable element -vītus,

• āvius, with the particle ā- and the inseparable element -vius formed from the substantival stem viā- (stem of via),

• coniux, with the particle con- and the inseparable element -iux.
