Name a Valid Prefix #1

For each root, name any valid prefix that could go before it to create a word.

Words must be in the US Scrabble dictionary to count

# = number of potential prefixes (near identical prefixes count as one prefix)

Single-syllable prefixes only. For example, universe is not valid for verse.

Not every prefix will add a syllable to the final word!

I have removed anti-, but I'm leaving s- because it falls under the last caveat
