If an infix has an alternative position outside the word, that external position is always at the edge of the word to which the infix position is referenced.
Standardized
Provided an infix has alternative positions outside the stem, that external position is always at that edge of the stem in relation to which the infix is positioned. (left edge infixes → prefixes, right edge infixes → suffixes)
This supports the view that there are no infixes as morphological entities, but only adfixes (i.e., suffixes, prefixes) which are metathesized by phonological rules in order to optimize syllable structures in accordance with sonority.
