[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]I would not say that the prefixes "sub" and "supra" are in any way antonyms. "Sub" is a straight Latin preposition meaning "below" or "under" and "supra" is also a Latin preposition meaning "above" or "over".[/QUOTE]Below and above are not antonyms? Pray tell, what is the antonym for below? What is the antonym for above? What is the antyonym for the prefix 'sup' if not 'sub? Go here: http://thesaurus.reference.com You will see below as antonym for above, and the prefix "sup" as in superior listed as and anyonym for sub as in subject to or bound by. If you feel the thesaurus is wrong pleas explain why? Again, Keita does not use supra-saharan as a geographical reference to north of the sahara. This is clear since he uses the term in conjunction with peoples and genetic lineages such as E3b1 which -span- the sahara. Supra -> superior -> greater than, not strictly speaking - directional, as in north of. The only geography of Africa north of sahara is Maghreb. [/QB][/QUOTE]
