15. Mengaldo, P. V. (1966), pp. 210-14: Mengaldo discusses the literary sources of Montale's
suffixes and prefixes in these pages and notes D'Annunzio's use of uncommon suffixes in
"mento" and prefixes in "in" (also Dantean features), which Montale also adopts, though often
applying the technique to words where it had not been applied before. He also discusses
Montale's less novel use of "dis" in place of the common "s" prefix. He notes that "lordura" is
in fact used by D'Annunzio on a number of occasions.
