Usage notes

  • The diminutive suffix is always stressed and reducible, like the suffix -о́к (-ók) from which it is derived.
  • The suffix replaces the final consonant of the root, which is usually н or нь; compare also горшо́к (goršók, pot, flowerpot), originally a diminutive of Proto-Slavic *gornъ (pot, flowerpot).
