Take , fold the preposition onto the front, and the thing you were writing about becomes a plain direct object. That is the - trick, and it is fully general: , priparoli, prirespondi all work the same way. Despite the spelling, no actual writing is required - you can a face out loud. The noun is priskribo, and nepriskribebla does indescribable in one word.
