This book examines prefixes expressing aspectuality in early English, such as ge- in the Old English verb gegladian "cheer up" or a- in the verb astreccan "stretch out", providing an analysis of the three most frequent prefixes (ge-, a- and for-). These prefixes show many inflectional properties, as well as typical features of grammaticalization.
