337. Any word which, as ordinarily written, has a disjoined prefix (such as incompetent, recognize, etc.), takes in a phrase its ordinary form, the prefix being joined, if convenient, to the preceding word, if there be one. Illustrations: we are incompetent

The prefix may be modified by an initial hook or circle to express in whole or in part a preceding word. Illustrations: we magnify
we may accompany*
