The prefixes a- and anti- are both of Greek origin. The prefixes dis-, in-, and non- are Latinate in origin.  Words that go along with dis- and in- are mostly from Latin/French.  Another interesting fact about non- is that it can often form negative adjectives by joining verbs, to express the meaning that the thing described does not perform the action described by the verb. Un- is a prefix native to English. It is mostly attached to native words to form negative adjectives and “Anti-“ does not mean “not”, but “against”. The Greek prefix a-, on the other hand, carries a greater sense of “without”, “lack of” and is therefore often used with adjectives which originate from nouns. The three prefixes dis-, in- and un- are very similar in meaning. They often denote a state on the opposite end of the scale. Therefore if somebody is impolite, he is not just being “not polite”, but in fact “rude”. As un- is a very productive negating prefix in English, it actually covers a wider range of meanings than other prefixes. Many words can form negations with both non- and un-, which gives near synonymous pairs like nonreligious / unreligious, nonproductive / unproductive, and so on. Anti- is very productive and particularly so with adjectives that describe ideologies and attitudes. Dis- is neither productive in modern English nor does it occur in a lot of words. Some adjectives that are formed by attaching the adjectival prefix dis- are formed in a different process. For example, disoriented is actually a past participle of the verb disorient, which consists of the verbal prefix dis- and the verb stem orient. The prefix in- appears in a lot of words of Latin or French origins, but it is usually restrained to these existing words. 

 Shifting Suffix note the Phoneme before the suffix is in parenthesis after the suffixes.

It has the same sound but it has a different meaning for example buses is more than one bus and busez I don’t know what it means but they sound the same.
