Sure! Here are the meanings of the affixes and prefixes you've listed:

1. **-ive**: This suffix is used to form adjectives indicating a tendency or a quality. For example, in "creative," it suggests the quality of being able to create.

2. **omni-**: This prefix means "all" or "every." It is used to indicate universality or inclusiveness, as seen in words like "omniscient" (all-knowing) or "omnipresent" (present everywhere).

3. **-ic**: This suffix is often used to form adjectives that relate to or are characteristic of something. For example, "historic" means relating to history.

4. **ultra-**: This prefix means "beyond," "excessive," or "extreme." It is used to indicate a level that is greater than what is normal, as seen in terms like "ultrasonic" (beyond the range of sound) or "ultra-modern" (extremely modern).
