Diminutives are formed by changing the root’s rightmost possible consonant into its corresponding fricative or affricate according to the chart below. X indicates that the phoneme does not have a possible fricativized variant, e.g. p=>X, since /f/ is lacking in Rówok. In this event the next rightmost consonant is fricativized. | Diminutives are formed by changing the root’s rightmost possible consonant into its corresponding fricative or affricate according to the chart below.

Additionally more than one consonant can be fricativized, for a sort of double diminutive effect, which indicates either extreme smallness or lends a cutesy feel. Cf. root '''bls-''', '''bálas''' (snow) => '''bálaš''' (snowflake) => '''varašín''' (the finest snowflakes you ever saw; powder); or root '''mwk-''', '''mówok''' (dog) => '''mówoč''' (puppy *one of maaaany words for puppy) => '''móvoč''' (cute little puppy doggie) | Additionally more than one consonant can be fricativized, for a sort of double diminutive effect, which indicates either extreme smallness or lends a cutesy feel.
