Prefixes, roots, suffixes, combining vowels and combining forms
A combining form makes use of a word root, and vowels.
A combining vowel is never used when the suffix begins with a vowel. For example, in medical terminology, when attaching a suffix like "-itis" (inflammation) to a root word that ends in a vowel, the combining vowel is omitted. Additionally, it is not used when connecting two root words that already end and begin with vowels, allowing for a smooth transition without the need for an added vowel.
The word 'stomach' is within anatomical terminology. However, when discussing conditions of the stomach, medical terminology uses the root 'gastr' in addition to prefixes, suffixes and any additional roots plus combining vowels to put them all together smoothly. An example would be 'gastroenteritis' referring to inflammation (itis) of the stomach (gastr) and intestines (enter).
Combining vowels in a language can change the meaning or pronunciation of a word. They can create different sounds, convey nuances of meaning, or indicate grammatical structures.
All vowels are used in medical terms e.g. uvula tonsillitis pectoriloquy
A diphthong is a vowel sound created by combining two different vowels in one syllable. A triphthong is a vowel sound created by combining three different vowels in one syllable. A triphthong may form simple or compound sounds.
