maki—, A prefix denoting an attachment to, a wish, desire or love for, what the root implies, e.g. makipílak—desirous of making money, looking for profit; makitábang—seeking or asking help. Attached to verbs maki-(magapaki-, magpaki-) is used for an incomplete or future action, whilst nagapaki-, naki- and pagpaki- are used for the present, past and the infinitive respectively. Magapaki- for the future is seldom used. (cf. paki-, pakig-).
makig—, See maki—. These two prefixes have the same meaning and may be used promiscuously. Custom and euphony decide which of the two is to be employed in any particular case.

N.B. Very frequently the prefix manog—produces a shifting of the accent of the term to which it is attached, e.g. manogdumúg (dúmug); manoghábul (habúl); manogtapús (tápus) and many more.
