Suffix

• (-je)

  1. Abstract noun suffix; forms part of larger suffixes such as -э́нне (-énnje) or -а́нне (-ánnje), and exists on its own especially as a suffix added to compound words.
    без- (bjez-, without) + люд (ljud, people) + (-je)бязлю́ддзе (bjazljúddzje, absence of people)
    но́вы (nóvy, new) + -а- (-a-) + сялі́ць (sjalícʹ, to settle) + (-je)навасе́лле (navasjéllje, housewarming)
    над- (nad-, above) + хма́ра (xmára, cloud) + (-je)надхма́р'е (nadxmárʺje, area above the clouds; (poetic) skies, heavens)
    па- (pa-, across, along) + грані́ца (hraníca, border) + (-je)паграні́чча (pahraníčča, region along the border)
    за- (za-) + ці́хі (cíxi, quiet, still) + (-je)заці́шша (zacíšša, lull, calm)
    без- (bjez-, without) + даро́га (daróha, path) + (-je)бездаро́жжа (bjezdaróžža, impassibility)
  2. Suffix used to create names of locations in conjunction with prefixes.
    за- (za-) + Каўка́з (Kaŭkáz, Caucasus) + (-je)Закаўка́ззе (Zakaŭkázzje, Transcaucasia)
    пры- (pry-) + Днестр (Dnjestr, Dniester) + -о́вы (-óvy) + (-je)Прыднястро́ўе (Prydnjastróŭje, Transnistria)

Usage notes

  • When appended onto a stem ending in a velar consonant, the Slavic first palatalization applies, upon which the suffix becomes (-a), as in бездаро́жжа (bjezdaróžža).
  • Otherwise, when appended onto a stem ending in a single palatalizable consonant, that consonant is usually geminated and reflected as such in spelling. The exception is в which becomes ў, e.g. пры- (pry-) + сло́ва (slóva) + (-je)прысло́ўе (pryslóŭje) rather than *прысло́вве (*pryslóvvje).
  • When appended onto a stem ending in р, the suffix generally becomes -'е (-ʺje), as in надхма́р'е (nadxmárʺje), although (-a) is also possible; see паве́тра (pavjétra).
  • Syllable stress is usually drawn onto the syllable before the suffix.
