  1. Disfix

    A disfix is a subtractive morpheme, that is, a morpheme which manifests itself through the subtraction of segments from a root or stem. Most frequently the subtracted element is the final segment of the stem, but other forms of disfixation exist. Disfixation can thus be seen as a kind of "anti-affix". An example comes from Murle, an Eastern Sudanic language of southern Sudan, where the final consonant of a word may be removed to form the plural: Productive disfixation is extremely rare among the languages of the world, but is important in the Muskogean languages of the southeastern United States. Similar subtractive morphs in languages like French are marginal.
