felép

Felép is a term sometimes used in linguistic teaching to illustrate the prefixal construction in Hungarian verbs. It is not a standalone lexical entry in standard dictionaries, but a pedagogical label that refers to the stem created when the verb prefix fel- attaches to a root to convey direction, completion, or an intensified meaning.

In etymology and morphology discussions, fel- is a prefix that combines with various roots to yield new verbs with nuanced senses. The hypothetical felép stem is used in classrooms to describe patterns across multiple verbs rather than a single lexeme. For example, the forms felépít (to build up) and felépül (to recover or to rise up) show how fel- modifies a base meaning. The underlying root is typically related to ép- or épít, meaning to build, with 'fel-' indicating upward direction or completion.

Usage and significance: Felép serves as a convenient shorthand for discussing Hungarian verb formation in morphology courses, comparative studies of prefixal systems, and lexeme formation. It helps learners recognize common prefixes and how they alter aspect, direction, or intensity of action.
