Exactly. That is why I wrote a correction. We have the same situation in English. Normally the addition of "in-" negates something; however, in the case of "flamable" the addition of the prefix to form "inflamable" does not negate it.

I recall seeing a sign near the elevator in my hotel in Athens with
an arrow pointing toward the elevator, ANUYWTHR. Both ANUYOW and
hUYOW are given in modern Greek dictionaries as "to raise" or "to
elevate." It seems to me that the compound only intensifies the
meaning of the verb itself.
