Those aren't words or prefixes, but stems that endings must attach to.
To make a parallel example from a natural language, one could make a Latin entry
_gaud-_ "rejoice", covering all derivatives such as _gaudeo_ "rejoice",
_gaudium_ "joy" etc. but also with the hyphen to note that _gaud_ itself is not
a word.
