I get that you get that tri- means 3. None of us are smarter and we don't know each other any better. The sound of tri- though rings clearly throughout ones ears. The clarity is due in part to three, but it feels smarter. Like subconsciously knowing how to load a shotgun, or knowing what every flavor of jellybean is by looking at it. Tri- just puts the automatic assumption in mind that this is more than 2. Tri- as a sound encorporates the the subtle hiss and clack of the T, the melting powers of R, and the singularly expressive selfishness of the I. Tri-. Though an air of prominence surrounds it, so does a mockingly simpleness override it. Tri- boasts up the word, while simultaneously sending a shudder of uncomfortable down its back. Triangle. Tricerion. Trialouge. Triad. Tricuspid. Triquatic. Trinambulant. Triagain. Trifigneuton. Trindersnatch. Tritard. You think you're getting somewhere with tri-, but then the ending is too much in sight to ever get past it.
