Etymology 2
[edit]Adjectival suffix with analogical origin as the nominal suffix. Related to Proto-Germanic *-ugaz (when appended to u-stems) and Proto-Germanic *-agaz (to o-stems).
In rare case, both the original u-stem form (reanalyzed as an o-stem) and the extended *-ъkъ are attested: e.g. Old Church Slavonic крѣпъ (krěpŭ) : крѣпъкъ (krěpŭkŭ).
Suffix
[edit]*-ъkъ
- From nouns or adverbs, forms adjectives with pertaining meaning: -y
- *kortъ (“piece, bit”) → *kortъkъ (“short”)
- *nizъ (“down, below”) → *nizъkъ (“nether, low”)
- *slizъ (“slime”) → *slizъkъ (“slippery”)
- *goře(stь) (“sorrow, woe, tribulation”) → *gorьkъ (“bitter”)
- *tęžе(stь) (“weight”) → *tęžьkъ (“heavy”)
- Deverbial from the past participle, forms adjectives which approximate the meaning of the participle: -ly (rare)
- (Extension) From former u-stem adjective (some of them surviving as re-analyzed o-stems), forms their doublets
