Usage notes

 * Traditionally, this suffix attaches to words with stress on the last syllable, while those ending in unstressed -o, -a or -e use (or  for feminine words). Increasingly, however, this rule is being broken, and pairs like  and  (based on ),  and  (based on ), and  and  (based on ) are found.
 * is a cyclic suffix, and the preceding component maintains its own stressed syllable (which is downgraded to secondary stress but maintains its vowel quality unchanged). The endings -o and -e after the preceding component are treated as word-final, hence e.g. is pronounced  in Brazil.
