Inlinguistics, apostbase is a special kind ofgrammaticalsuffixingmorpheme that is suffixed to a base. It is mostly found inEskimo–Aleut languages andFormosan Languages.[citation needed] Postbases differ from most otheraffixes in that they usually carry a much more salientsemantic content than affixes in other languages and are semantically more akin toverbs. In Eskimo–Aleut languages meanings such as "to have", "to want", "to think", "to say" are usually expressed by postbases.
