Eject, Reject, Object, Subject, What is all about this -ject?

According to the book "Modern English Structures: Form, Function and Position" by Bernard O'Dwyer, similar words like eject, inject, reject, object, etc., all have the stem -ject which means to throw. The prefixes add more meaning to the stem, and new words emerge. Taking a quick look at the page (provided by Google Books) where O'Dwyer is referring to those words with the -ject ending might convince you to purchase the book. Please go to Amazon through my website, rather than the link Google provides, so I earn a little commission from your purchase, rather than Google does :-) Thanks.
