Social Sciences - Linguistics / como sufijoides o como afijoides
Spanish term or phrase: como sufijoides o como afijoides
Part of a thesis that studies the relation of certain lexemes and affixes in modern German in order to form adjectives.

Context:

No hay unanimidad a la hora de definir estos morfemas como lexemas composicionales (Kompositionsglieder), como sufijoides o como afijoides.

So far I'm considering:
suffix-like and affix-like particles
particles that display the properties of suffixes and affixes

Thanks for any suggestions.
