14 Prefixes in Word Puzzles - localhost/vocabulary

What is the value of a PREFIX? Why choose just 14 prefixes?

ANSWER:
Richard E. Hodges of the University of Puget Sound indicates in a booklet titled: "Improving Spelling and Vocabulary in Secondary School" published by the NCTE in 1982; page 30:

"If you were to examine the 20,000 most used English words, you would find that about 5,000 of them contain prefixes and that 82% (about 4,100) of those words use one of only fourteen different prefixes out of all the available prefixes in the language."
