Capstone: Twelve Respiratory Terms Decoded
Captions available
The idea
This capstone decodes twelve respiratory terms using the word parts of Units 2 through 9.
In practice
Twelve decodes, suffix first.
Where people slip
Term twelve has no suffix at all. It is two roots joined, and the decode ends when the roots are read.
