I used 'simple prefix' for no-object, and 'complex prefix' for 'with object'. 
 I didn't include {yI-} because it's ambiguous.  The only prefixes that I 
considered were {jI-}, {ma-}, {bI-}, {Su-}, and {pe-}.  

{moH} (be ugly) without an object is explicitly different from {moH} (exert 
influence on) with an object.  So it doesn't count either.
