Circumfix
Type of agglutinative inflection / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Circumflex.
A circumfix (abbr: CIRC)[1] (also confix or ambifix) is an affix which has two parts, one placed at the start of a word, and the other at the end. Circumfixes contrast with prefixes, attached to the beginnings of words; suffixes, attached at the end; and infixes, inserted in the middle. Circumfixes are common in Malay[2] and Georgian.[3]
