Actually, that's kinda part of the problem. Like I've said, they've kinda 
become extremely common prefixes/suffixes like English "un-" or "-er", so 
adding every possible useful combination to the dictionary is a Herculean 
effort beyond what little people we have maintaining it in their spare 
time. {zabna} and {mabla} are especially bad this way, as their rafsi {zan} 
and {mal} has been combined with almost anything to mean "X in a favorable 
/ disfavorable manner; X with a positive / negative connotation"
