Fo as a prefix

Fo mar ro–leasachan

New words are made with the ro–leasachan (prefix) with a hyphen: fo –. Fo – means 'under, sub' in this sense and sèimheachadh (lenition) must be used.

We can create new words by adding the prefix fo– to these nouns and verbs:

tiotal
title
aodach
clothes
comataidh
committee
ùir
soil
roinn
share, divide
sgrìobh
write

Now, let's add the prefix fo to them:

fo–thiotal
subtitle
fo–aodach
underwear
fo–chomataidh
sub–committee
fo–ùir
subsoil
fo–roinn
subdivide, subdivision
fo–sgrìobh
