Usage notes

  • The prefix אנטי־ is sometimes written solid with the following word, sometimes joined to it by a makáf or hyphen, and sometimes separated from it by a space. This depends to some extent on the individual writer: for example, although the noun אנטי־חומר (anti-khomer, antimatter) is most often written with a makáf (as here) or hyphen, it is also well attested with a space, and sporadically attested written solid.
