The principal classes of Greek compound adjectives, 

 the formation of which is concerned in this discussion, are 

 not different from the classes of Latin compounds dis- 

 cussed in §§ 23-29 and will be treated in the same way. 

 They are as follows :

 rable prefix: 



ipv8pd-\evKo-<;, reddish zvhite; 

 \evico-/j.e\a(v)-<;, black and white; 

 7roXi/-%Xa>/3o-9, very green ;
