[…] In other words, the writer would not write or “key” a certain Ithkuil symbol, but rather would select a particular root from a database and identify the particular forms of the 22 morphological categories which apply to the root as well as any suffixes."Synonyms: affixAntonyms: prefix

2. (mathematics) A subscript.
