NOTE: This is a list of the prefixes and suffixes from the pre-2016 dictionary - an archive if you like. It includes semi- and non-canon words which are no longer officially maintained. Please visit the new list here.
List of Affixes (Legacy) You can find all suffixes and prefixes using the search tool, but selecting the right word class and unticking 'exact match' can be a huge bother. So I'll write a list of them here, including their description found in the dictionary. I'll try to keep this updated. I might add more usefulness as I see fit and of course am open to corrections and suggestions. If you do a lot of translating you may want to bookmark this page for quick reference ;)
Key:modern(+), non-canon( ), semicanon (>), canon (•) "eqvl." denotes the English equivalent of an affix.
