• Unlike Serbo-Croatian, as concerns forming possessive adjectives, this is the preferred suffix, even for most feminine nouns (which use -ин / -in in Serbo-Croatian); compare задруґов (zadrugov) with Serbo-Croatian задругин / zadrugin. This suffix is so productive, that it in fact displaces some Old Slovak forms in -in, such as мамков (mamkov) displacing Old Slovak mamkin.
• See usage notes of Сабадош (Sabadoš) for use in forming plural forms of male surnames.
