ru нало́говый relational tax -и́к налогови́к taxman colloquial
ru ры́жий red, redheaded ры́жик redheaded person, ginger colloquial; camelina; saffron milk cap
Usage notes
The diminutive suffix is always unstressed and normally does not trigger any change in the stress, although in some cases the stress is drawn onto the preceding syllable (e.g., ru воло́сик from ru во́лос).
The agent-noun suffix is often stressed.
When added onto a noun ending in ru ц, the suffix triggers the Slavic first palatalization, resulting in ru ч. The same would be expected to happen to the velars ru к, ru г and ru х, but there appear to be no examples of this.
When added onto a reducible noun, the stem assumes its reduced form before the suffix (e.g., ru за́йчик from ru за́яц).
