   yeah, there is no prefix in morse... it is too old to have such concepts...   
      
   FWIW: the above line i wrote without any silence spacing is ABCD but it could   
   be decoded as one of several others depending on how one breaks it apart...   
      
     .-  -...  -.-.  -...

   speed is another factor with morse code... if you can easily hear 20WPM but   
   have problems at 30WPM, you might miss some things and get a wrong decode...
