@zero-affix

A zero-affix is an affix with no letters that make it to real words. As for instance, there is a /kRt-affix /kvip, that turns the verb root bhAs भास् "to shine" into the rootnoun bhAs- भास् "light" —

bhAs भास् + /kvip → **bhAs- भास्

In this /kvip, the k क् and the p प् are /it, the i इ is feop, and the v व् is always eaten by verapRktasya.
