Well this one is in response to my friend Vinod's (and many others') suggestion to me that I should write a few Interesting posts too, something like the post on his blog titled "Steatomammate".(For the meaning kindly refer his blog Mindless Musings)
So I thought why not begin with the example supplied by him itself.
So here I provide the users of the word Steatomammate a few more words to compliment it. I am very confident that a lot of people would find these words pretty useful in their daily conversations.
1. The Antonym: (Vinod didn't find this one out) Leptomammate
2. Now Steato is for 'fat' but I often find people who need to use a prefix that can convey the meaning 'soft'. So this one is for them: Malacomammate
3. Now if 'soft' is there theres got to be one for 'hard' too. So there it goes: Scleromammate
4. And in case you just wanna describe a good one you can use : Eumammate
Well actually one can go on this way but I guess these many words would be enough to support your daily lingo needs! ha ha ha........
P.S: Well Vinod, hope you dont call this plagiarism as I not only found those prefixes myself but also gave you the due credit! ha ha...
Also, to those who may find this post offending, I urge them not to take the thing very seriously and just look the etymological aspect of it.
