The affixes meaning "without" are 'a-' and 'in-'. The combinations of given stems and suffixes create words like 'digestion', 'spiritual', 'actually', and 'literature', where [ch] is spelled 't' due to palatalization.

The affixes that mean "without" in the provided list are 'a-' and 'in-'. 'A-' is used in words like amoral (without morals) and 'in-' is used in words like insufficient (without sufficient quantity).

Here are examples showing how some of the given prefixes, bases, and suffixes combine to form words where [ch] is spelled 't' due to palatalization:

  • dis + gest + ion = digestion
  • spirit + ual = spiritual
  • question + er = questioner
  • act + ual + ly = actually
  • ad + vent + ure + ous = adventurous
  • script + ure + al = scriptural
  • liter + ate + ure = literature

Combining gallery + I + es results in galleries, with the 'ie' representing the [ē] sound.
