Talk:Circumfix
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Onelook can refer one to several dictionaries with entries for the verb 'enlight'. I saw this when trying to determine whether 'enliven' might count as a circumfix; I'm not sure whether it would: several dictionaries have entries for 'liven' and entries for 'enlive'.
Interesting. I'll remove those ones, but i think "embolden" can stay. --Arashi 09:53, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
What about be- -ed as in "beloved". You can't "belove" someone, and "loved" (pronounced "love ed") is not the same as "loved" (pronounced "loved") Tjdw 22:52, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
How old is this method of english words? --Masssiveego 06:59, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] removal
circumflection has to do with circumflexes, not circumfixes. i'm removing the reference. --djumbrosia 16:24, 13 June 2006
[edit] Japanese
In Japanese the latter half of the honorific (ni naru) are considered separate words not an affix. I suggest removal of the reference to Japanese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hakeem.gadi (talk • contribs) 18:14, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- It depends on the definition of circumfix. See page 25 of the following slide: [1]. I have weakened the sentence of the article. - TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 02:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
