RE:diminuitives



Robin-CA on 2/21:
<I seem to vaguely remembernoticing a word to indicate that another
word(s) was intended as a pet name or dimminuitive (i.e. &quot;mommy&
quot;rather
than &quot;mother&quot;).

Does this actually exist, or did I just make it up?  If it does exist,
where is it in the book?>

Based on comments yesterday about Honorifics, it appears that the attachments
would be Attitudinals of the appropriate sort (affection, caring,
dependence,...) immediately following the word. {mamta .iu} or, since the VVs
seem  to have special status, some CVV for affection (not sure what that
would be).
