In general, the annotation shows if the verb is prefixed and, if it is, which prefixes are present on the verb (see below).

+ | ==== Potentially prefixed==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the verb cannot be annotated as prefixed using the criteria described above, but there is a strong intuition that the verb contains a prefix, this is marked in column **Potentially_prefixed_verbs** with 1. For instance, in BCMS, the verb // | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ Language ^ Example | ||
+ | | BCS | za-taškati| ‘to cover up’| 1 |+po-taškati, | ||
+ | | Slo| odmevati| 'to echo'| 1 |*za-mevato, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Finally, verbs that are taken to be potentially prefixed are not taken to be simplex (i.e. they are marked with a 0 in column **Simplex_verbs**). | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The following table gives an overview. Note that verbs that are annotated with 1 in the Potentially prefixed are **not** taken to be Simplex (i.e., they are annotated with a 0 in the Simplex verb column). | ||
