inˈequi-
combining element, in sense ‘unequal’, ‘unequally’; not of L. formation (the negative of L. æquus being inīquus), but f. in-3 + equi-: usually in words that are the negatives of equi- words, as equidistant, inequidistant, but also forming negative compounds without corresponding positive forms. The following are examples of both classes:
inˌequiˈaxed, inˌequiˈaxial a. [axe, axial], having unequal axes. inˌequiˈcostate a. [costate], unequally ribbed, as a shell or seed (Mayne, 1855). inˌequiˈdistant a., not equidistant. inˌequiˈlibrity, want of equilibrium. inˌequiˈlobate, iˈnequilobed a., having unequal lobes. inˌequipoˈtential a., not equipotential; so inˌequipotentiˈality, inequality of potential, as at different points on the surface of a glacier.
