anth-

Alternative form of anti-?! I think the h would have to come from the word that ant- is being prepended to. Equinox ◑ 00:26, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm assuming it was created because it exists on Appendix:English prefixes. It was added to that page in this edit from 2004, which also added several other combining forms beginning with a, most of which look cromulent. (The edit history of that page is very confusing because two competing appendices were merged together some time in 2007). Keith the Koala (talk) 18:42, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

The creator has now changed it to be an alt form of anthrop-. Still sounds wrong. Equinox ◑ 11:33, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

I agree with Equinox. Also, Category:English words prefixed with anth- is empty. I have deleted anth- from the Appendix and from user Brian's hotlist. DCDuring TALK 11:57, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

I think it may actually be a form of antho- before certain vowels. Equinox ◑ 12:00, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
