In linguistics, a simulfix is a type of affix that changes one or more existing phonemes in order to modify the meaning of a morpheme.
Examples of simulfixes in English are generally considered irregularities, all of which left over from pluralization rules that existed before the Great Vowel Shift. They include:

★ ''mouse'' → ''mice''

★ ''man'' → ''men''

★ ''louse'' → ''lice''

★ ''tooth'' → ''teeth''

★ ''woman'' → ''women''
