How does the prefix farâ- work in the word farâgir?
The prefix farâ- means 'beyond', 'trans-', or 'over'. Here, it attaches to gir, the present stem of gereftan (to take or catch). Literally meaning 'taking everything over' or 'reaching beyond', farâgir translates to 'comprehensive', 'universal', or 'all-encompassing'.
Why is the prefix zir- used in zirmajmu'ehâ?
The prefix zir- means 'under', 'sub-', or 'infra-'. It is added to the noun majmu'e (meaning 'set', 'collection', or 'complex') to create zirmajmu'e. This literally means 'subset' but is widely used in general contexts to mean 'subcategory' or 'subdivision'. The -hâ suffix simply makes it plural.
Both qâ'ede and majmu'e are Arabic loanwords. Is it normal to attach Persian prefixes like zir- to them?
Yes, absolutely! While farâ-, pish-, and zir- are native Persian prefixes, Modern Persian freely attaches them to Arabic root words to coin formal, academic, or technical terms. By this level, you will see these hybrid words frequently in news and literature.
Why do we see -ye instead of just -e for the Ezafe in qâ'ede-ye and zirmajmu'ehâ-ye?
