I do not believe that a prefix (eg. "e" or "non") in a word makes it two words.
For example, email (or e-mail) is not two words, is it?
Sure, some words with a prefix or a suffix might not technically qualify as official words
per se...but are still recognized unofficially, as colloquialisms.
On the other hand, "nonperceivable" the one that I listed is not an actual dictionary word at all (as far as I can tell), even though it may be perceived
as such...that is why I separated it from the first bunch.
As for atravelers, well....:whistle:
