CIRCUMFIX ke-...-an Circumfix ke-...-an forms nouns from adjectives, verbs, and other classes. Such nouns are generally of an abstract nature. In general, the meaning of the noun can be predicted from the meaning of the adjective base. However, in a few cases this is not so. Circumfix ke-...-an also can be based on nouns, which then mean "having to do with [base]."
