Separation for 'pe-' and 'per-'

I'm proposing for separation between 'pe-' and 'per-' in view of the fact that they have different usage and produce different meaning.

• pe- (pem-, pen-, peng-, penge-, peny-)
  • + noun: forms a noun that indicates a person, agent or thing that has the character of the root word.
    • selam (swim) - penyelam (swimmer)
    • ajar (teach) - pengajar, another word for guru (teacher)
  • + adjective: forms a noun that indicates a person or thing that has the quality or attribute inherent in the adjective root word.
    • muda (young) - pemuda (youngster, a young person)
  • with '-an' suffix: forms a noun referring to a process in the sense of a noun.
    • hapus (erase) - penghapusan (erasing, deletion)
    • guna (use) - penggunaan (using)
• per-word-an: forms a noun that often refers to a circumstance referred to by the root word or the result of the action of the verb in the sentence. May also indicate a place or location.
  • kawin (marry) - perkawinan (marriage ceremony)
  • kantor (office) - perkantoran (office complex)

For instance, perkawinan and pengawinan have 2 different meanings.
