# ent-, int-

Special thanks to Thomas Pacheco for funding this lesson.

This lesson covers the prefix compound that begins words like "enter" and "interact".


We use just a single cluster for both "ent-" and "int-" briefs. The combination is arbitrary, SPW:

# S T K P W H R A O * E U F R P B L G T S D Z
  • SPWER: enter
  • SPWAOEUR: entire
  • SPWAEUL: entail
  • SPWAOEUS: entice
  • SPWEL: intel

A little more complex:

  • SPWABGT: intact
  • SPWEPBD: intend
  • SPWEPBGS: intention
  • SPWERPB: intern
  • SPWERPBL: internal
  • SPWERPBT: internet

We can add in sounds on the left hand, too:

  • SPWRUPT: interupt
  • SPWRABGS: interaction
  • SPWREU: entry
  • SPWRAPBS: entrance
  • SPWHREBGT: intellect
