Well, I'll leave it up to the beginners, but I think that that
output is not too helpful.  I like janSIy's (I think it was he) idea
of just providing the list of actual words, not affixes.  In
particular, I think this format is very confusing because it doesn't
even clearly indicate which things are what kind of thing.  That is,
prefixes ought to be followed by -, i.e. vI-, jI-, etc, and suffixes
preceded by same: -taH, -vIS.  People really need to *think* of
affixes as affixes, elsewise they fall in to the trap of trying to
look them up as words in the main body of the dictionary.
