Prefixing opposite lungs

So what is the prefix for opposite?

Like. . if I was going to say the opposite of lung,
in one word

what would it be?

For instance;

Delung,
or

Alung.

I have no idea what the prefix for opposite is!

Do you?

Re: Prefixing opposite lungs

Well... prefixes for negative opposite include dis- a- de- un- irr- etc.

What would be the conceptual meaning of the opposite of lung?

Re: Prefixing opposite lungs

Do you mean that trees make oxygen, lungs use oxygen?

Scientifically, trees also use oxygen themselves.

Re: Prefixing opposite lungs

I may go on to add that I believe that the concept of opposite is best used in the feild of adjectives.

When we attempt to use it for nouns, and other things, it does not always hold a valid linguistic operation (this new terminology is just like mathematical operation)

Anti-lung. However, it is proper to say that both trees & lung-apoids 'respire', that is breathe.

Re: Prefixing opposite lungs

Pacific O Mouthed

windy after-noon on

the coast of California

as long white strands of

sand stone hair

conjoins to the membrain of Oceania,

and dips deeper

and deeper

like the snail tenticles of a Man-O-War

Reaching toward the mute mermaids,

even Further-

and Men

with gills

crawl up the Bonsai

out there

growing gills, like I said

as Insomaniacal sings his Mantra:

"Let's go back into

the ocean" Over and

over,

undereath a Bonsai anti-lung,

'neath the sun

who shuns anyone

in sphere-star presence

too long with a warm and toasty

burn.

Look deep into the eyes

of bored

eternal angels

who float above the bonsais

and leave their halos hanging from

the branches 'cause

Earth is H E A V E N L I E S T.

Look, you're breathing

you can't see them NOW

but it's evident that Trees are

really just the complete opposite of

lungs.

It was then,

that I harvested the unicorn

and replaced her forehead food

with a beautiful spiral cone

that shined for thirty seven years (In one moment).

I was not hungry the next day,

Riding that unicone

into the morning

of sandy sheets.

I don't want to be awake

any longer
