DESCRIPTION |
NOTES |
|
A |
Productive affix in contemporary Chinese, especially
when combined with two-character compounds (XY). Thus XY + SUFFIX (WS)or PREFIX
(WP) + XY are likely, often highly likely, to be derived lexemes.
|
|
|
B |
Productive affix historically but currently
inactive or limited. Deriving compounds not in the lexicon is not safe, but
perhaps it can be used as a last resort. Example: һ
'head' acting as limited noun suffix |
|
