just wanted to know if there are any rules to know which suffixes to
use for a word with certain latin roots, like for, e.g. the word
nubile has the root "nubere"; the suffix -ile is used along with it.
Whereas for the word vespertine which comes from latin "vesperas" has
a -tine attached to it. So how is it you should decide on the type of
suffix for a word. Are there any similiar rules for roots of Greek
origins. Can i post strange words here to see if they can exist?
