Easy Croaan (rev. 47b) / 82 Visible and Unreadable: Potenal Adjecves 461 / 600

This suffix is used to derive adjectives from certain nouns:

dlaka body hair, animal hair → dlakav hairy

hrđa rust → hrđav rusty ®

krv f blood → krvav bloody

mišić muscle → mišićav muscular

These adjectives never have a case-base with the -a- dropped, while adjectives

which end in -av for other reasons sometimes have, e.g. mrtav (mrtv-) dead.

________

® In Serbia and Bosnia, words for rust and rusty don’t have the initial h: they have

forms rđa and rđav.
