feat: adds a brief helpful comment to each entry describing its function

[hippietrail]

The name 'affixes' turns out to be a misnomer since about a quarter or a third of them don't add any prefix or suffix but change a property such as the part-of-speech, or singular vs plural.

Another approach would be to switch from json to either JSON5 or Hjson for the affixes.json file.

Here's a bonus nodejs/bun oneliner to make a suffix cheat sheet!

node -e "Object.entries(require('./harper-core/affixes.json').affixes).forEach(([key, value]) => { if (value['#']) console.log(key + ': ' + value['#']); });"

Will output:

1: singular noun property
2: proper noun property
3: linking verb property
4: verb property
5: adjective property
6: swear word property
7: conjunction property
8: pronoun property
9: plural noun property
K: 'pro-' prefix
L: '-ment' suffix
E: 'dis-' prefix
Y: '-ly' suffix
U: 'un-' prefix
H: '-ieth' suffix
T: '-(i)est' suffix
R: '-(i)er' suffix
C: 'de-' prefix
V: '-ive' suffix
N: nominalization suffixes
A: 're-' prefix
Z: '-(i)(e)rs' suffix
P: '-(i)ness' suffix
M: -'s possessive suffix
F: 'con-' prefix
B: '-able' suffix
S: '-(i)(e)s' plural suffix
D: '-(e)d' suffix
G: '-ing' suffix
Q: 'ally' suffix
O: '-ful' suffix
I: 'in-' prefix
X: '-ions', '-ications', '-ens' suffixes
J: '-ings' suffix
~: common noun property
+: preposition property
-: article property

Love it. Why not add that as a just command?
