| | It doesn't exist. There's "-ik" and "-lik". I think the -ik words tend to be nouns and -lik words tend to be adjectives. With the nouns it's usually not easy to tell what the stem is or was, or maybe it's just a coincidence that the word end with -ik and it isn't a suffix at all. There's a word like [[hommik]] (morning), I really... I was going to say I really doubt "homm" means something, then remembered [[homme]] means "tomorrow". Well, in any case, some nouns like to end with -ik, but it's probably difficult to determine the stem for most of them. — [[User:Jeraphine Gryphon|Jeraphine Gryphon]] 15:30, 26 December 2011 (UTC) | | It doesn't exist.

| | : The suffix seems to mean the same as {{term|-kko|lang=fi}} in Finnish so they are probably related. I think what happens when the suffix is added is that the -i at the end of the stem gets added back again. Are there any words ending in -uk or -ak? —[[User:CodeCat|CodeCa]][[User talk:CodeCat|t]] 15:35, 26 December 2011 (UTC) | | : The suffix seems to mean the same as {{term|-kko|lang=fi}} in Finnish so they are probably related.

| | + | :: There are words like [[väljak]] (a large outdoors area, for example [[w:Freedom Square, Tallinn|Vabaduse väljak]]; "väljas" means outside), [[rünnak]] (an attack, verb [[ründama]], to attack), [[hõljuk]] (a floating machine or something, verb [[hõljuma]], to float). |
| | + | :: Okay, I get it. [[-k]] is a suffix for nouns, [[-lik]] is a (separate) suffix for adjectives. — [[User:Jeraphine Gryphon|Jeraphine Gryphon]] 16:05, 26 December 2011 (UTC) |
