In linguistics, a simulfix is a type of affix that changes one or more existing phonemes (usually vowels) in order to modify the meaning of a morpheme.
Examples of simulfixes in English are generally considered irregularities, surviving results of Germanic umlaut. They include: man → men, woman → women louse → lice, mouse → mice foot → feet, tooth → teeth
