  • Confix refers to that group of bound morphemes which behave like bases and can thus be classified neither as bases nor as affixes, e.g., phil, therm, polit.

I've suppressed the -e form, although the footnote "1" is still present, which is slightly unattractive. - -sche (discuss) 05:13, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
