I would like an identification of the animal in my photo. How do I get the photo to you? It doesn't match the animal in any mouse deer photos I have seen, but it was definitely found in the wild in Rumbai, an oil company town 3 km north of Pekan Baru in 1958, where the photo was taken by my father. Please respond on my talkpage. -- Irrgang 17:40, 12 June 2011 (UTC) <

Thanks for the info on the deer, and I would indeed appreciate knowing if you ever see a reference similar to it. Interesting that it is so different ... And also, you are right, the extinctions in Sumatra are terrible. When I was there (1957-1964) we had tigers, elephants, clouded leopards, river otters, siamangs, bears, and Sumatran hairy rhinos, all within a few miles of our house. Also, weird stuff ... see page 410 of this book referring to my father and a friend of his [1]. And the three of us also discovered a particular rhino in Buatan, near Pekan Baru, which the friend later captured -- see pp 144-147 of [2]. Harry Gilmore, my father and I used to feed Dimples the rhino bottles of beer; she would come up to the fence you see in the pictures and beg for a bottle of Heineken, which she would grab with her jaws, tip her head back, and chug it down. I was in Pekan Baru last week, and it is so sad to see the environmental devastation today. Irrgang ( talk) 20:20, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey Metaknowledge; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 22:40, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
No, a disfix isn't just removing an affix, but more generally part of a stem. Lots of languages have zero affixes, but AFAIK they are never analyzed as disfixes. Now, if the plural of ufagio were agio, with the loss of both the *n and the *f, then that would be a disfix, but otherwise people just set up paradigms with zeros in them.
Now, it's possible yours would be a productive approach. I'm thinking also of Hadza, where you remove the feminine suffix to derive the masculine. We might even want to use the word this way in our own writing. But unless the word is actually used in this way in the lit, we'd be misleading our readers to give such examples. — kwami ( talk) 21:25, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
To answer your question, no, null prefixes are distinct from disfixes. A disfix is when an integral part of the root is removed in order to inflect, and is incredibly rare. It would be like if the plural of "child" were "chil" and "adult" were "adul" - English would then have a plural disfix. But a form marked by the lack of overt prefix would simply be a null prefix.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited DHS (high schools), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dublin High School ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
