Suffix[edit]

- Alternative form of -cecito; added to feminine nouns to form diminutives
Usage notes[edit]
- A rare suffix added to feminine words and names to denote a diminutive form. It occurs especially with words ending in a consonant or a vowel other than -a, and does not delete the final vowel (contrast with -ecita, which is added in place of a vowel that does get deleted).
