Postoje antonimi, dakle reči koje su suprotne jedna drugoj. Neki antonimi nastaju kao proste negacije svojih pozitiva, npr. uljudan-neuljudan, pušač-nepušač. Ovde ću gledati da skupim one ostale, neprave antonime, gde reč sa negirajućim prefiksom u stvari nije tačna negacija svog pozitiva, ili pozitiva ni nema (što ću označavati sa „-- “ na mestu pozitiva).
