使用する際の注意点

In Latin, the following sound changes affected "sub-" and cause English borrowings from Latin which contain this prefix to have different forms. Words formed in English using the prefix "sub-" do not exhibit these sound changes. (Combination with 's' involved elision かつ the other changes involved assimilation.)

• sub + c = suc- (hence succession, from Latin successio; but e.g. subculture formed in English from sub- + culture)
• sub + c = sus- (susceptible)
• sub + f = suf- (suffer, but subfield)
• sub + g = sug- (suggestion, but subgroup)
• sub + p = sup- (support, but subpage)
• sub + r = sur- (surrogate, but subroutine)
• sub + s = su- (suspect, but subset)
• sub + sp = su- (suspire, but subspecies)
• sub + c, p or t = sus- (susceptible, suspend, sustain, but subtitle)^[1]
