@Benwing2: do you know where the soft variant -ний (-nij) comes from? --Barytonesis (talk) 20:33, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Barytonesis Both variants come from Proto-Slavic. Beyond that I'm not sure. Benwing2 (talk) 22:09, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep, very productive suffix. —Rua (mew) 17:27, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep, reason given ("not a Russian ending (correct: [[-ый]])") is irrelevant. It may not be an ending (= inflectional suffix), but it is a valid derivational suffix. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:17, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep of course, it is one of the first choices in Russian morphology to form adjectives and is lexical, thus deserves an entry. Palaestrator verborum (talk) 18:32, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
