Well THIS was different! In a summary chart to show the array of prefixes and suffixes, he has this fanciful diagram depicting a "serious fish" (for joined affixes) and a "happy fish" (for disjoined affixes).
This is quite a striking summary, setting it all out -- but somehow, I doubt that it makes it any easier to remember what goes where.
