[gothic-l] About diminutive

Am I right about that the gender is the same in diminutive as the 
original word?
Like 'barn' that is neuter becomes barnilo, and 'mawi' that is fem. 
becomes mawilo.

Is diminutive always weak? (n-stems)

If the word is feminine, how do I know if the díminutive becomes on- 
or in-stem?

And at last, the vowel infront of the l, how to know which one it 
should be? Is it the same rule as in compounded words?


Ps. Does some one know what the name of the opposite to diminutive is?
