<p>This is an old, old theory.</p>
<p>No <b>-wI'</b> has ever been canonically observed with any
prefix, ever. I believe it is never done. My thinking is that the
job of the prefix is to agree with the subject and object, whether
stated or elided, not to set them. As such, it is not as closely
associated with the verb as suffixes (it doesn't change the verb's
meaning the way suffixes do), and so the suffixes take priority. <b>-wI'</b>
turns the verb into a noun, and you can't add prefixes to nouns.<i><b>.</b></i><br>
