Wordbit Kinds[]
- Free wordbits like town and dog can be stuck to other words (as in townhall or doghouse) or they can stand allone ("free").
- Wordbitlings are wordbit ranks, f.e. the manifold (plural) marker in English is sometimes said as /-z/, /-s/ or /-ɪz/.
- Bound wordbits like "un-" only happen together with other wordbits to shape a full word. Bound wordbits most tend to be forefasts and afterfasts.
