quickinfo
There are only a few derivations with the suffix -el, it is an unproductive suffix. The suffix -el forms adjectives from verbs and can in its function be compared with -ich. An example is brûketo use > brûkelangry. However, it can be questioned if one can speak of derivation in these cases.
There is a separate suffix -el that derives verbs from other verbs; this is discussed in the topic on -el forming verbs from verbs.

General properties
Derivations ending in -el[əl] are historically derived from verb stems. However, in most cases the stems and the corresponding verbs cannot be recognized anymore. Examples are given in the table below:
Table 1
| Derivation |
| wankelshaky |
| gammelwobbly |
| nommelnoble-minded |
| skrutelshy |
| nippelmoody |
| mûtelchubby |
| himmelneat |
| noartelsurly |
| krigeldiligent |
Adjectival derivations with -el from verbs are rare and unproductive. A comparable situation occurs with the suffix -er deriving adjectives from verbs.

Morphological potential
Derivations with -el from verbs can be input for other suffixes, examples are given in the table below:
Table 2
| Base | Derivation |
| wankelshaky | wankelichunstable; wankelensunstability |
| gammelwobbly | gammelich / gammeleftichsickly; gammelens / gammelichheidsickliness |
| nommelnoble | nommelensnobility |
| brûkelangry | brûkelensanger |
| mûtelchubby | mûtelens / mûtelheidchubbiness; mûtelichchubby |
| himmelneat | himmelichvery much wanting to clean |
| noartelsurly | noartelenssurliness |
| krigeltouchy | krigelens / krigelheiddiligence |
