使用する際の注意点

The suffix -ulus is added to a noun to form a diminutive of that noun. Latin diminutives typically match the gender of the base word.

Examples:

‎rēx m (“king”) + ‎-ulus → ‎rēgulus m (“prince, petty king”)

‎virga f (“twig, rod, switch, staff”) + ‎-ulus → ‎virgula f (“little twig, small rod, wand”)

‎oppidum n (“town, settlement”) + ‎-ulus → ‎oppidulum n (“small town or settlement, village”)

‎calx f (“limestone, game counter”) + ‎-ulus → ‎calculus m (“pebble, little stone”)

The allomorph -olus, -ola, -olum is regularly used to form diminutives of nouns ending in -ius, -ia, -ium, -eus, -ea, -eum.

When added to an adjective, it forms a diminutive of that adjective:

‎albus (“white”) + ‎-ulus → ‎albulus (“whitish”, literally “a little white”)

When added to a verb, it forms an adjective with the relational meaning “doing …” or “tending to …”:

‎tremō (“tremble”) + ‎-ulus → ‎tremulus (“trembling, tending to tremble”)

‎crēdō (“believe”) + ‎-ulus → ‎crēdulus (“believing, tending to believe”)
