Semantic categorisation
In his affix list {{ cite(mf_affix) }}, Michael Fortescue introduces a grouping of affixes with related meanings.
This classification was taken up and further extended by Nielsen in his combined grammar and affix list {{ cite(nielsen_gram) }}.
I have added these tags to the affix collection in MOFO as well, based on Nielsen's work.
