Can you suppress suffix or prefix (of citation entry)?

I can't find the variables that convey these values in the CSL specs. Pages/sections etc. are transmitted through "locator". what about the prefix and suffix?

Regardless of whether they are stored in separate variables or not, can you suppress the suffix or prefix entered with a citation by the user?
  • no. Prefix and suffix are just added before and after the citation generated with CSL. While I think conceptually they make a lot of sense, they're not required (or even mentioned) in the CSL specs - whether there even are affixes depends on each implementation.
