I know that the sn- prefix used to classify the nose (snicker, sneeze, snoop, snot, etc.) and that the gl- prefix used to classify light (glimmer, glare, glory, etc.) Others?
I came across another classifier remnant in English last night as I was browsing David Crystal's Language Encyclopedia: sl- for things are are disgusting or low (slither, slug, slime, etc.)
