接尾辞

-z

1. (urban slang, lolspeak, leetspeak) Used as a substitute for -s in marking the plural of nouns. Usually used in words in which the -s suffix is actually pronounced /z/.

語源 2

From a mutation (specifically a zetacism) of the rhotic consonant /ɹ/ to /z/.

While standalone suffixation (such as soz and Baz) gained wide recognition in British print during the 1980s, the underlying morphophonological shift is attested significantly earlier in Australian English via the derived non‐rhotic suffix -zza (such as Bazza for Barry), which has been in print since at least the 1960s.

接尾辞

-z

1. (UK, Australia, New Zealand) Forms nicknames, especially of personal names.

   ‎Barry + ‎-z → ‎Baz

   ‎Sharon + ‎-z → ‎Shaz

   ‎Jeremy + ‎-z → ‎Jez

2. (UK) Forms colloquial variants of words.

   ‎sorry + ‎-z → ‎soz

   ‎tomorrow + ‎-z → ‎tomoz

   ‎apparently + ‎-z → ‎appaz

使用する際の注意点

• Typically applied to words where the stressed vowel is followed by an /ɹ/, with the suffix replacing the rhotic consonant and truncating the remainder of the word.
