Abstract
This paper considers the evidence that the English suffix -ish (e.g. yellowish, baldish, ticklish, fivish, childish) can be attached to verbs,
making it more clitic-like than a true affix. We discuss competing hypotheses in this light and present new evidence from historical and
contemporary sources. In morphological theory, this can be interpreted as regarding -ish as a ‘cliticoid’, one step away from a true clitic on
the affix-clitic continuum.
