+Comment: during a conversation in the FB group, **-kin** was mentioned as a possible diminutive suffix.
+Footnote. Out of interest, even though **-er** is the standard English suffix for people-who-do, the following words in **-ar** exist: beggar, burglar, bursar, liar, pedlar, registrar, scholar, vicar.
