[+]Database

This sortable database will eventually serve as a comprehensive inventory of productive and unproductive dependent morphemes – specifically affixes and affixoids, but also including examples of confixes, libfixes, and roots. However. please note that the table is experimental, and that the content is therefore also only exemplary at this stage.
