Teaching Affixes - AR ER OR

Affixes

Lesson 144.

Ar, er, and or signify one who does, or that which does; as, baker, one
who bakes. If the word ends in e, r only is added. After a consonant y is
generally changed into i. Another letter is sometimes united to the affix;
as law, law’yer. The final consonants are doubled, as in Lesson 142.
