On the topic of the formation of the Playful Lexicon (hedonyms) there is
an almost indescribably wonderful book on the topic with reference to
Spanish (written in English):
    David Pharies, "Structure and Analogy in the Playful Lexicon of
    Spanish", Max Niemeyer Verlag, T"ubingen, 1986 ( = Beihefte zur
    Zeitschrift f"ur Romanische Philologie, 210).
Very professional, amusing, well-written, and genuinely
illuminating. Enjoy!
