How are "affices" in agglutinative languages different from "words" in isolating ones, other than they are not "separated" but "put together"?<br>Not showing up independently? But things like plural markers in isolating language alone wouldn't make sense either.<br><br>After all, not even every language uses spaces for separation.<br>So is this really a feature of a language or rather of its orthography?,(reply>), I'm not sure if "orthography" is the right word here, since most sources relate these concepts to morphology.
