Although I haven't tested it either, I believe that the principle above
applies not only to alpha-privative adjectives but to ALL compound
adjectives (e.g., those with EU-, DUS-, KAKO-, etc. prefixes are quite
common and definitely in this category, but the category of compound
adjectives is actually much broader, and so far as I know, they are all
2-termination adjectives).
