d) This section presents those Vs which do not fit into the previous sections. The different relations which can be established between the base and the resulting V are shown in (1-4). Below are the Vs listed in alphabetical order. 1. There is no relation between the prefixed verb and the base: encore (core), endue (due), and enquire (quire). 2. The base does not exist in English (most of them have a foreign origin): encroach (croach), endure (dure), energize (ergize), engineer (gineer), enhance (hance), entertain (tertain), enthuse (thuse), ensorcell (sorcell), entice (tice), i/enure (ure), envelop (velop), and environ (viron). 3. The derivation works in the opposite direction (from the prefixed verb to the unprefixed base): enchase (chase), encumber (cumber), ensilage (silage), and envy (vie). 4. The relation between the prefixed verb and their base is very distant, if not lost: enamour (amour), encounter (counter), endeavour (devoir), endorse (dorse), endow (dowry), engage (gage), engender (gender), e/ingrain (grain), enjoy (joy), enrol (roll), ensconce (sconce), entail (tail), enthral (thrall), entrammel (trammel), entwine (twine). and envisage (visage).
