'under' = "saye-", 'over' = ?



Rick,
The polarity prefix "saye-" is used when a quantity does not quite reach a certain amount ('under').  Is there a corresponding prefix for when a quantity barely exceeds a certain amount ('over')?  Is it "jaw-"?  (Defs from LS App. B)

>        saye-   almost, not quite, nearly, all but, well-nigh
>        jaw-    just, only, exclusively, simply
