A reanalysis of Ancient Greek diminutives formed with the suffix -ιον (-ion) from nouns ending in -αξ (-ax), stem -ακ- (-ak-), retaining or not retaining the diminutive sense.\nExamples: the modern λαβράκι (lavráki) < Ancient Greek λαβράκιον (labrákion) from λάβραξ (lábrax, “seabass”), the modern ρυάκι (ryáki) < Hellenistic ῥυάκιον (rhuákion) from ῥύαξ (rhúax, “torrential stream, esp. of lava”), συάκιν (suákin) from σῦαξ (sûax, “a fish species”).
