“Among the official morphemes, the true antaŭafiksoj are bo-, eks-, ge-, mal-, pra-. These change the nature of the word, and therefore would occur at the end if they were part of a compound.”

“Among the official morphemes, the true postafiksoj are -aĉ-, -ĉjo, -njo. These do not change the nature of the word, and therefore would occur at the beginning if they were part of a compound.”

“-um- is sometimes included in this list, as it's irregular; however, it generally dominates the meaning of the word, and therefore would be expected to occur at the end”
