Consonant alternations: If the stem ends with -k or -c, the suffix sk -cký is usually used instead. If the stem ends with -s, it merges with the -s- of the suffix (e.g., sk nebesia → sk nebeský). Stems ending in -ň change to -n- (e.g., sk baňa → sk banský). If the final consonant (-k or -g) is preceded by a sonorant, the final consonant is dropped along with a potential mobile vowel before them (e.g., sk Pezinok → sk pezinský, sk Hamburg → sk hamburský). The final consonant (-h or -ch) is altered into -ž or -š respectively (e.g., sk Praha → sk pražský, sk macocha → sk macošský). If the final -g is preceded by a vowel, it is either kept (e.g., sk Haag → sk haagsky) or it merges into the suffix sk -cký (usually with native places, e.g., sk Bodrog → sk bodrocký). This suffix is subject to the rhythmic law. If the preceding syllable is long, the form sk -sky is used instead. This suffix, combined with potential consonant clusters preceding it, causes numerous phonological reductions or cases of assimilation. Declension Derived terms sk
