Punctuation

prefixes

Generally do not hyphenate when using a prefix with a word starting with a consonant: predecease, reconvene. With the exception of cooperate and coordinate, use a hyphen if the prefix ends in a vowel and the word that follows begins with the same vowel: re-elect, pre-eminent, re-establish.
