Building Integumentary Terms From Word Parts

Captions available

The idea

Building an integumentary term means selecting the combining form for the structure, then the suffix for the kind of term, then applying the joining rules.

In practice

Four builds, each join named.

Where people slip

Build three differs from build one only in the first letter of the suffix, and that letter decides which element does the linking.
