afijo 46
Morpheme that is fixed or nailed, from latin affixus, placed, nailed, somewhere in the lexema to form a new word with independent meaning. Linguists distinguish five : Prefixes, infijos, suffixes, interfijos and circumfijos. We talk about circumfijos when we have a discontinuous still with a prefix and suffix surrounding the lexematic base. In the word en-love-ar we have a circumfijo.
