Question

Do prefixes & suffixes have antonyms? As in, is it possible for a prefix or suffix to not have an antonym?

#Example

Example

Google defines "-gon" as:

-gon combining form in nouns denoting plane figures with a specified number of angles.

I can't find any antonyms for this suffix.

I've observed that prefixes may have antonyms. For example, post being the opposite for pre. But is this considered to be an antonym? If so, can suffixes also have antonyms?
