-endlic

[edit]

The etymology really says it all. I don't think this is a single suffix, but rather a combination of two. —CodeCat 17:41, 27 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Delete, I think. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:17, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
What about moving the definition to -lic and changing it to “forming [] from present participles [] ”? Would that be correct? — Ungoliant (Falai) 16:49, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Keep. Although this looks like -ingly (=-ing+-ly), the definition says "Forming adjectives from verbs with the sense of ‘able to, capable of’." How would you know from -ende (Old English present participle ending) and -līċ (-ly, "like") that you can form -able adjectives like this? --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:33, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Kept; no consensus to delete. bd2412 T 14:14, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
