bound morpheme
- within: dans l'espace de, can be used temporally or, less often, spatially.
- without: the opposite of with
- withdraw: take out, remove (v.)
- withhold: hold back (v.) (retenir, refuser)
Some more formal words:

preposition
semantics / case
- She watched the boy with the telescope.
An often-cited case: it is difficult to be certain without context whether she was using the telescope to watch a boy who had no telescope, or if she was watching someone who in turn had a telescope.
means argument
The kids were covering the table with flowers. (Note that in can also be used here)
manner argument
She proofread the letter with care. You may not understand the first time around, but with patience, you'll get the hang of it.
