Dear b-greekers,

does anyone remember any bibliographical data on the so-called *alpha 
privativum* formation of words? Actually, I try to find out if there is 
anything behind the many words built with alphas (in order to negate) in 
2Peter displaying an author´s capability to form words on his own (there 
are alpha privativum words next to the positive ones; many of the alpha 
words are hapax legomena in 2Peter and the NT, some even not in the 
Septuagint).
Any reference helps (any comment, too).
