Usage notes
The shortened form of the suffix, -мен is now used more often.
The suffix is not ruled by vowel harmony. It is agglutinated after a vowel or a voiced non-sibilant consonant. When words end with voiced sibilants and voiceless consonants, assimilated variants kk -бенен and kk -пенен are respectively used.
