  One of the examples that coldnose offers has a suffix appended to it, so I think you're incorrect, too. Maybe affixes? By the way, yours is an example of Muphry's law. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law And because I'm correcting your incorrect correction, I have a feeling that I've gotten something wrong, too.
