consonant-based + affixes. Like affixes in other languages, these are used to modify the stem + in a variety of ways and to derive new concepts. In Ithkuil, such affixes usually + appear as suffixes (i.e., are added sequentially following the stem), however, + it is possible for Ithkuil affixes to optionally appear as prefixes (i.e., added + on to the front of a stem) under certain circumstances. It is for this reason + these morphological elements are referred to as affixes and not more specifically + as prefixes or suffixes. Nevertheless, the rules for prefixation of Ithkuil + affixes are subordinate and secondary to the rules for suffixation. Therefore, + in the following discussion I will first describe the rules for using Ithkuil + affixes as suffixes, followed by a section on the options for prefixation.</P> +<P align="justify">The morpho-phonological structure of suffixes (how they are + formed from consonants and vowels) has already been briefly discussed in <A href="ithkuil-ch2-morphophonology.htm#Sec2o7">Section + 2.7</A>. This chapter will describe the actual function of the particular affixes + themselves.</P> +<P align="justify">There are 153 different consonantal suffix categories, each + of which divides into the nine degrees previously discussed in <A href="ithkuil-ch2-morphophonology.htm#Sec2o7o2">Section + 2.7.2</A> giving a total of 1377 distinct suffixes. As described in that section, + each degree of a suffix has a distinct meaning, often representing a point along + a continuum in terms of how much or how little the underlying semantic sense + of the affix category is being manifested by the particular formative. </P> +<P align="justify">It is important to remember that, since all morpho-semantic + stems are both nominal and verbal in meaning, all suffixes to a stem have both + a nominal and a verbal meaning. Therefore, the choice whether to translate the + suffixes below into their nominal or verbal meaning is entirely dependent on + the morpho-syntactical structure of the word within the context of its use in + a phrase or sentence as a whole. </P> +<P align="justify">We have seen in <A href="ithkuil-ch2-morphophonology.htm#Sec2o7">Section + 2.7</A> that consonantal suffixes fall into three affix-types, each having nine + degrees. It is the combination of affix-type and degree which determines the + vowel infix which accompanies each consonantal suffix. For example, the suffix + -<STRONG>nt</STRONG> of Type 1 takes the following forms for its nine degrees: + <STRONG>-int, -ent, -änt, -önt, </STRONG>(<STRONG>a</STRONG>)<STRONG>nt, + -ünt, -ïnt, -ont, -unt</STRONG>. Compare this to the same affix -<STRONG>nt</STRONG> + of Type 2, whose nine forms are: <STRONG>-înt, -ênt, -ânt, + -ønt, -uint, -ÿnt, -ënt, -ônt, -ûnt</STRONG>; and + the suffix -<STRONG>nt</STRONG> of Type 3, whose nine forms are: <STRONG>-ient, + -iënt, -iunt, -iont, -iänt, -uänt, -uont, -uënt, -uent</STRONG>. + These vowel infixes for suffixes are shown in Table 21 below (this table already +

For example, note the difference + when we add these two suffixes to the Ithkuil word <STRONG>qum</STRONG> ‘person’: + <STRONG>qumpu</STRONG> means ‘identical-looking person,’ whereas + <STRONG>qumpû</STRONG> means ‘twin.’ In this way, we can say + that the suffix -<STRONG>Vp</STRONG> with Type 1 vocalic infixes conveys a circumstantial + application of its meaning to a stem, while with Type 2 vocalic infixes, it + conveys a derivational application of its meaning (i.e., wholly new concepts + or words are derived from the stem).</P> + +<P> </P> +<DIV align="justify"> + <TABLE width="95%" border="0" cellpadding="3" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> + <TBODY><TR> + <TD><P><FONT size="4"><STRONG>7.2 SUFFIXES MODIFYING OTHER SUFFIXES<A name="Sec7o2"></A></STRONG></FONT></P></TD> + </TR> + </TBODY></TABLE> +</DIV> +<P align="justify">In addition to the patterns of suffix usage described above, + there is another class of suffixes which not only can be used to distinguish + a circumstantial versus derivational aspect like -<STRONG>Vp</STRONG> above, + but can also be used to modify an adjacent suffix rather than the stem.

For example, when adding the 5th degree suffix -<STRONG>(a)s</STRONG> + to the stem <STRONG>ruk</STRONG>, one cannot simply append the suffix directly + as in <STRONG>ruks</STRONG> because the resulting final consonant combination + of -<STRONG>ks</STRONG> would be misinterpreted as the Grade 4 mutation of the + C<FONT size="1">2</FONT> radical <STRONG>s</STRONG> (i.e., the reader would + misinterpret the word to be based on the stem <STRONG>rus</STRONG> instead of + <STRONG>ruk</STRONG>).

In this case, the + answer is no because there is no other reason for the final -<STRONG>a</STRONG> + to be there. In words where a final vowel appears for no possible reason, then + it means it is the vocalic portion of a “reversed” suffix. However, + one must be certain there is not another reason for the final vowel. For example, + in the word <STRONG>ïruksá</STRONG>, one might be tempted to interpret + the final vowel as being the vocalic portion of a reversed -<STRONG>(a)s</STRONG> + suffix, however, in fact this word represents the word <STRONG>rus</STRONG> + with Grade 4 mutation of the C2 radical <STRONG>s</STRONG>, declined into the + <FONT size="2">ABSTRACT</FONT> perspective, a morphological category shown by + ultimate stress plus the addition of an anaptyctic (i.e., “extra”) + vowel, in this case, the word-initial <STRONG>ï- </STRONG>(see <A href="ithkuil-ch2-morphophonology.htm#Sec2o7o3o3">Secs. + 2.7.3.3</A> and <A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm#Sec3o3o4">3.3.4</A>).</P> +<H3 align="justify"><BR> + 7.5.1 Multiple Affixation</H3> +<P align="justify">When adding two or more suffixes to a stem, the suffixes generally + can be added to the stem in any order desired, with the exception of suffixes + which modify an adjacent suffix (i.e., <STRONG>V<FONT size="1">S</FONT>C</STRONG> + suffixes utilizing Type 2 vocalic infixes and <STRONG>V<FONT size="1">3</FONT>C</STRONG> + suffixes utilizing Type 3 vocalic infixes).

Because of the morpho-phonological + restrictions on consonantal prefixation as described below, prefixes are uncommon. +</P> +<P align="justify">The rules for optional prefixation depend on whether or not + the formative has a word-initial vocalic prefix (i.e., the Affiliation/Extension + [+ Conflation] prefix as described in <A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm#Sec3o2">Sections + 3.2</A>, <A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm#Sec3o4">3.4</A>, and + <A href="ithkuil-ch5a-verbs.htm#Sec5o3">5.3</A>.

For example <STRONG>s</STRONG> + <STRONG>kuil</STRONG> becomes <STRONG>sïkuil</STRONG>, + not <STRONG>skuil</STRONG>, since the <STRONG>sk</STRONG>- initial conjunct + of the latter would be misinterpreted as the C<FONT size="1">1</FONT> radical + of an entirely different stem. </P> +<P align="justify">As for the vocalic portion of the affix (the portion which + indicates which of nine degrees is to be associated with the affix), the vocalic + portion is suffixed to the stem in word-final position (and therefore its word-final + form) in a manner so that it cannot be ambiguously interpreted as being associated + with another suffix. Thus <STRONG>kuil</STRONG> + <STRONG>es</STRONG>, if prefixed, + becomes <STRONG>sïkuilei</STRONG>.

The consonantal + affix is infixed between the word-initial vocalic prefix of the formative and + the C<FONT size="1">1</FONT> radical. This is only permissible if the infix + does not cause ambiguity in interpretation of the resulting consonant conjunct, + i.e., it will not be confused with either a different radical or an Illocution + affix (see <A href="ithkuil-ch5a-verbs.htm#Sec5o1">Sec. 5.1</A>). The + vocalic portion of the consonantal affix which indicates the degree of the affix + is suffixed in word-final position so that it cannot be ambiguously interpreted + as being associated with another suffix.

If placement + of the vocalic suffix indicating degree results in ambiguity as to which consonantal + affix it applies to, then prefixation of the consonantal affix is not permitted. + For example, the form <STRONG>ébdortui</STRONG> would be impermissible + because it is ambiguous as to whether the word is equivalent to <STRONG>édorta+bui</STRONG>, + <STRONG>édora+</STRONG>(<STRONG>a</STRONG>)<STRONG>t+bui</STRONG>, or + <STRONG>édora+tui+</STRONG>(<STRONG>a</STRONG>)<STRONG>b</STRONG>.</P> + +<P> </P> +<DIV align="justify"> + <TABLE width="98%" border="0" cellpadding="3" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> + <TBODY><TR> + <TD height="26"> +<P><FONT size="4"><STRONG>7.7 LIST OF AFFIXES</STRONG></FONT><A name="Sec7o7"></A></P></TD> + </TR> + </TBODY></TABLE> +</DIV> +<P align="justify">The 153 affix categories are given in the sections which follow. + Each affix indicates which of the five classes of affixes it belongs (<STRONG><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">V<FONT size="1">1</FONT>C, + V<FONT size="1">2</FONT>C, V<FONT size="1">0</FONT>C, V<FONT size="1">S</FONT>C, + </FONT></STRONG><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">or<STRONG> V<FONT size="1">3</FONT>C</STRONG></FONT>), + the consonant-form associated with it, its overall function, its three-letter + label used in morphological analysis, and the meaning or translation of each + of its nine degrees.
