Yesterday's Answer, Today's Question

Yesterday's Answer:

St. Thomas Aquinas wrote "Summa Theologica."


Today's Question:


Give three synonymous fractional prefixes differing by only one letter.


I think the words hemi (hemisphere), semi (semi-circle), and demi (demi-god) all mean "half" and would therefore be the answer.
