I'm no expert of course - but as I recall there are both infixes: pili -> p+in+ili and reduplication of prefixes pili -> pi+pili. The real issue is the latter - the reduplicated string can be of any length (even the whole word), and you can't encode every string as an affix. <<
Kevin, This is very similar to the German hinspazieren hinzuspazieren or aussehen ausgesehen case, which can be easily solved using prefixes: hinspazieren/b PFX b Y 1 PFX b hin hinzu hin # creates hinzuspazieren from hinspazieren Your case can be easily solved with suffixes: pili/c SFX c Y 2 SFX c ili inili ili # creates pinili from pili SFX c li pili li # creates pipili from pili For the second case probably a prefix solution is better as listed above. Do not forget, that a suffix class can handle virtually any number of variations. (In the above case 2) affixes/prefixes are mighty tools.
