ABSTRACT
This paper is a statement on Khmer affixation, based on a synchronic study of the language of the Middle Khmer (Mid.K.) inscriptions. The material was inscribed between the years 1566 and 1747 A.D., and is to be found in the form of 117 pages of print published by the Buddhist Institute of Phnom-Penh with the title 'Inscriptions modernes d'Angkor.' The whole corpus has been examined. Other Khmer literature attributed to this period-the Ream Ker and the cbap, for example-has not been consulted specifically because the printed texts available to me depend on manuscripts which have been copied many times and could not possibly equal the inscriptions in reliability.
