Suffix
-skī (Cyrillic spelling -скӣ )
- added to nouns to form a relational adjective
Usage notes
- Since the suffix originally began with a front vowel, the Slavic first palatalization applies to stems ending in velars, followed by voicing assimilation and cluster simplification. Thus:
- jùnāk ("hero") + -skī → *jùnāčskī → jùnāčkī ("heroic")
- demàgog ("demagogue") + -skī → *demàgožskī → *demàgošskī → demàgoškī ("demagogic")
- Čȅh ("Czech man") + -skī → *čȅšskī → čȅškī ("Czech")
- pròsinac ("December") (Croatia ) + -skī → *pròsinačskī → pròsinačkī ("December (relational)") (Croatia )
