Talk:anti
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Adjective sense: against, opposed to.
The defining terms are both prepositions. The usage example shows it complemented by a noun, in the manner of a preposition. There already is a preposition L3 section. DCDuring TALK 16:31, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
