Talk:hyper-

Notes on use?

Where could we add that “hyper- is often used as a higher order of magnitude than super-, a meaning it doesn't have in its original, Greek form.”?

Hyper is Greek and super is Latin, and they both mean over in their original languages.

I'm pretty sure that they share their origin, by the way, since Greek word initial h- often corresponds to Latin (and Germanic) word initial s-: hexa-sex, hypo-sub, hepta-septem. 148.136.141.172 08:40, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
