'Dum la pasintaj jaroj, en la laboro de likvido de analfabeteco oni utiligis la fonetikan alfabeton en certaj regionoj..'
I wonder whether an is a typo for some suffix like pra or ne to indicate the 'liquidation' of a non-alphabetical system.

mnlg:Therefore, the "an-" is not a prefix, at least not in my opinion.Saluton. In my opinion "an" is a prefix. In fact it isn't an opinion because is evident what it is. Actually is not "an" but "a" with an "n" because "alphabet" begins with a vowel. Is the same prefix as in spanish word "anormal" ("abnormal" in english). That prefix means "lack" in these words. I think Miland is right and the use of the that prefix is a mistake and the writer should write the word with "sen" prefix ("senalfabeteco") or maybe the "mal" prefix ("malalfabeteco"). I'd use "sen".
Ĝis, Novatago.

But Butler gives the alternative nelegivulo which seems more in harmony with the spirit of E-o.

Hope this is helpful. I don't mean to be pedantic, but I am anyway

billpatt1942:Hope this is helpful. I don't mean to be pedantic, but I am anywayNo you're not pedantic! And I found your comment interesting. Even though I knew about what was meant by "analfabeteco", for French uses "analphabète" for "illiterate", I learnt something about this word in Esperanto from your post.

In English…
Please speak English in the English section of the forum. If you wouldn't like that, or can't understand English, pleas go to the different bit of the Forum; but if you're interested, please start a new discussion thread in the Esperanto section of the forum. I write this because some of us are not very good at composing esperanto discussion messages or understanding them, and like a place to speak our own language until we are accustoemd to it. Thank you.
