-истка

-ист (-ist) +‎ -ка (-ka). Guldrelokk (talk) 23:37, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

You've described the etymology but it's a suffix as well. Keep. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 04:03, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

@Atitarev: What makes it a suffix? -ка (-ka) is a usual feminitive-forming suffix: it doesn’t matter whether the word ends in -ист (-ist) or not. Guldrelokk (talk) 04:46, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

IMO, it's a compound suffix, like German -istin. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:00, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

How are cases of words in -ист (-ist) being suffixed with -ка (-ka) distinct from cases of other words being suffixed with -ка (-ka)? Can you find sources that treat -истка (-istka) as a suffix? Guldrelokk (talk) 05:11, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Note that -istin is not an entry. Guldrelokk (talk) 05:12, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

OK, I see your point. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:48, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
