Irregular diminutives

[Fria]

In the chapter Irregular diminutives, there are listed Different meanings (Sometimes, the meaning of a noun changes when it is written in a diminutive form) ... is the list of Different meanings complete, or are those just a few examples and the actual number of such diminutives with different meanings is much larger?

No, the list is far from complete. Also, there is quite a number of cases, where a word with different meanings almost always uses the diminutive in one meaning, almost never in another. Would that count as a difference in meaning or not?

In fact, there is a general category of words where a shift exists in meaning: An 'uncountable' word (one that cannot get 'een', but only 'de' or 'het') can become 'countable' in the diminutive. The words "gein" and "plezier" in the list are of this type, but similarly there are cases like "aardigheid" (the property of being nice) versus "aardigheidje" (a nice thing to do).

Thx for a very useful explanation ... so I guess also the words het brood and het broodje are also the case where meaning changes?

Does anybody know, is there anywhere a complete list of diminutives whose meanings change?
