	Diminutive - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
		A diminutive is a formation of a word used to convey a slight degree of the root meaning, smallness of the object or quality named, encapsulation, intimacy, or endearment.
		English diminutives tend to be shorter and more colloquial than the basic form of the word; diminutives formed by adding affixes in other languages are often longer and not necessarily colloquial.
		This is a feature that it shares with Scots language, and may have influenced, the suffixes "-ag" and "-ock" in that language.

	Language: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		All but French and Scots Gaelic, however, have totally disappeared, leaving few traces of their passage apart from often colourful place names and a small amount of vocabulary.
		Two typical variations in word form are due to change in the order of adjacent sounds (e.g., haps for hasp) and addition or deletion of syllables (e.g., kellup for kelp or quite for quiet).
		The use of English as the medium of instruction in 20th-century Labrador has been a primary contributor, as of course has the general prestige associated with English-speaking society and culture.

	Ploughshares, the literary journal
		English words remind us of the presence of Celts, Scots, Romans and Danes, but their two dominant strains derive from the 5th century invasions of the Angles and Saxons, two Germanic tribes, and the conquest by the French-speaking Normans in the 11th century.
		English, a Germanic language, is heavily stressed and employs Germanic mode of syntax.
		English being by definition a fusion of languages, it would of course be impossible to write a purely Latinate poem, at least one that used syntax, since conjunctions, articles, numbers and auxilliary verbs are Germanic.

	THE CLAN CAMPBELL
		On that date James VI of Scots, son of Mary Queen of Scots, inherited the throne of England on the death (without children) of Henry VIII's daughter Queen Elizabeth, and so James became James VI of Scots and I of England, so bringing about an initial degree of unity between Scotland and England.
		Like most Scots, all Campbells are a blend of races through maternal ancestry, although there were times from the 16th through the 18th centuries when, among some leading families in Argyll and Perthshire, they had grown so numerous as frequently to intermarry, intensifying their characteristics as a kin.
		The word Clann in Gaelic need signify no more than 'family' or 'children' and there were hundreds of such groups who made no pretence to set up as major powers on their own but who followed the local chief and became members of his clan.

		Sometimes the Gaelic word, or part of it, is truncated or changed while an attempt is made to shift it into English spelling conventions.
		Sometimes the sense changes in the way that many words given time and use, but the point being made here is that the word originated either with Gaels using English or English-speakers hearing bits of Gaelic being repeated.
		English, a late Germanic language that has borrowed heavily from older languages, has more Celtic words than has been estimated, if we add those that come into the language indirectly by way of Gaulish into French and French into English.
