10. Rules for using Combining Vowels
2. A combining vowel is not used when the suffix begins with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u).
Example: when neur/o (nerve) is joined with the suffix – itis (inflammation), the combinng vowel is not used because –itis begin with a vowel. Neuritis

Example: when gastr/o (stomach) is joined with enter/o (small intestine), the combining vowel is used with gastr/o. However, when the suffix –itis (inflammation) is added, the combining vowel is not used with enter/o because –itis begins with a vowel. Gastroenteritis

21. Taking Terms Apart
To determine a word’s meaning by looking at the component pieces, you must first separate it into word parts.
1. Always start at the end of the word, with the suffix, and work toward the beginning.
2. As you separate the word parts, identify the meaning of each. Identifying the meaning of each part should give you a definition of the term.
3. Because some word parts have more than one meaning, it also is necessary to determine the context in which the term is being used.
