/pree`pend/ , vt. [by analogy with append ] To prefix. As with append (but
not prefix or suffix as a verb), the direct object is always the thing being
added and not the original word (or character string, or whatever). If you
prepend a semicolon to the line, the translation routine will pass it
through unaltered.
