Suffix
-cký
- variant of -ský used primarily after stems ending in -k or -c, sometimes also -g
Usage notes
- The suffixes -ský, -cký, and -enský carry no difference in meaning; they all express a relationship of belonging or affiliation.
- If the stem ends with -k or -c (and sometimes -g, see below), the suffix -cký is usually used, otherwise the basic form -ský is used.
- Consonant alternations:
- The final stem consonant always merges with the -c- of the suffix (e.g., Košice → košický).
- If the final consonant is -k or -g and it is preceded by a sonorant, the final consonant is dropped along with a potential mobile vowel before them and the form -ský is used (e.g., Pezinok → pezinský, Hamburg → hamburský).
- If the name of a town ends with -ec, this suffix is often dropped and the form -ský is used instead (e.g., Hlohovec → hlohovský).
- If the final -g is preceded by a vowel, it is either kept and the form -ský is used (e.g., Haag → haagsky) or it merges into the suffix -cký (usually with native places, e.g., Bodrog → bodrocký).
- This suffix is subject to the rhythmic law. If the preceding syllable is long, the short form -cky is used instead.
