Talk:-jak

RFV discussion: September–October 2022
Apparently, an English suffix – having a hard time buying it though and the only clickable example on Wiktionary – soyjak – contradicts such a construction. --Robbie SWE (talk) 18:26, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Speedied. None of the alleged examples exist in Google Books, the regular Google hits for those examples are all user names, coincidental running together of neighboring words, or are in running text of other languages, and it's obviously just the Serbo-Croatian or some other Slavic-language prefix grafted onto English. Of the 19 English lemmas ending in -jak on Wiktionary, only soyjak could even remotely be interpreted as having an English suffix- and that's far better explained as a blend.


 * For what it's worth, neither of the accounts that edited this have ever edited anything else on any Wikimedia site except a user page. They're probably both the same person, but that's not enough to justify a checkuser check, so I don't know for sure. Chuck Entz (talk) 19:16, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Although I agree that this is a blend rather than a suffix, I do think we should have a way of categorizing certain common blends. Binarystep (talk) 03:53, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Agreed. There are quite a few blends based on, for example. Would be nice to have a place to collect them all. WordyAndNerdy (talk) 01:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
