Usage notes
edit- The diminutive suffix is always unstressed and normally does not trigger any change in the stress, although in some cases the stress is drawn onto the preceding syllable (e.g., воло́сик (volósik) from во́лос (vólos)).
- The agent-noun suffix is often stressed.
- When added onto a noun ending in ц, the suffix triggers the Slavic first palatalization, resulting in ч. The same would be expected to happen to the velars к, г, and х, but there appear to be no examples of this.
- When added onto a reducible noun, the stem assumes its reduced form before the suffix (e.g., за́йчик (zájčik) from за́яц (zájac)).
