Important Notes: Greek stems that begin with h often have a tendency to drop the h when the ster
is not at the beginning of the word.
Keep this in mind as you learn them! Many Greek stems also
have shorter and longer forms (e.g.
derm-/dermo-/dermato-
erg-/ergo-/ergato-). New Latin/Greek
words ending in x usually have a stem ending in g-
as in the following examples: larynx and
laryng-; pharynx and pharyng-; syrinx and syring-; meninx (membrane) and mening-.
