Czech suffix notes

Some putative cases can be analyzed as base verb + -na: ubytovat → ubytovna, montovat → montovna, pracovat → pracovna, spalovat → spalovna. -na exists anyway, as in nalévat → nálevna, and of course cihla → cihelna.

Other putative cases can be analyzed as base adjective + -na: čajový → čajovna, mozkový → mozkovna.

How to analyze the above cases will be open to discussion and further investigation. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:00, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
