(language) diminutives / (language) noun diminutive forms to (language) diminutive nouns

And the same for augmentatives, too. 'Diminutives' is too vague, as there can be different parts of speech that are diminutive and I don't think we'd want to lump them all together. On the other hand, a diminutive isn't really a form in the sense that we use. A diminutive isn't an inflection of a noun and doesn't belong to a paradigm, rather it's generally a noun all in its own right and may have a meaning that is not predictable from its base. —CodeCat 16:43, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Support move. We just have to edit {{diminutive of}} and delete the old cats, right? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 22:00, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes. I suppose for consistency we should rename the categories for other parts of speech too, but I didn't think to include them and they are not as common. (Dutch has a productive way to form diminutive adverbs, though) —CodeCat 22:02, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
