-ik is common suffix as well in Albanian, in Latin, Illyrian, Romanian
etc.
There are to be noticed Illyrian place names, like Lopsica (see
Liburnian place names), Cliticus, Juricus, Lutossika, Oplica, Kaklika.
It is usually diminutive suffix, probably from -ko, as we may see
also from Latin curriculum, clavicula (cf. clavis), where -i- seems to
be an anaptytic sound.
It was attached to adjectives and verbs: bal-ik (cf. balë), furrik
(cf. furrë), lar-ik (cf. larë), rras-ikë, beside rras-ukë (cf. rrasë),
so korr-ik is a regular derivative of korr 'to harvest, reap'.
See also Romanian cimpic (cf. cimp), prunic (cf. pruna).
