-**//Prefixes//** in [[Nûrlâm]] may serve both as derivational and inflectional morphemes. But because they are rare they are all listed at this one page. Personal enclitic [[pronouns#personal_pronouns|personal pronouns]] which are also similar to prefixes are not listed here. However some other enclitic particles are counted as prefixes.+**//Prefixes//** are the affixes placed before the word's stem. Early researchers thought that prefixes were extremely rare or totally absent in Black Speech, like in other well-known agglutinative languages (e.g. Finnish and Turkish), but "Parma Eldalamberon" journal's issue #17 proved them wrong. There was stated that subject pronouns were prefixed to the verbs, so we can expect that there were some other prefixes too.
