Hello. It seems to me, having looked at the morphology of Volapük, that the name of this wikipedia is badly formed. The first two letters, '''vü''' , are confusable with a preposition meaning "between" (corresponding to the prefix "inter-"), the last two letters, '''ed''', are confusable with a common suffix, and the word as a whole is further blighted by the fact that the middle three letters, '''kip''', are confusable with a root meaning "keep/retain". The word is thus highly ambiguous, and I wonder if it shouldn't be replaced. I understand there is a procedure for word coining whereby the Academy (the '''Kadäm''') is consulted and then makes a decision. And I wonder who the person was who invented the word "Vükiped", and whether he/she had any contact with the Academy.
:Hi. I don't have a clue. The word had already been adopted when I first came here. Let me just tell you that just because words seem to be composed of known prefixes/suffixes doesn't mean they are not allowed. In Volapük there are many words that start that way, with particles that match prefixes, and yet morphologically they are not prefixes: for example, "jied" (a bad concept for an example, I know :)) is not composed of prefix "ji-" and suffix "-ed".
