From Bryan:

Another handy affix is the "-y" ending, giving us "OGRY" (not to

be confused with "ogrish").

N.B.: This works only inasmuch as the "-y" ending is a

productive one in English (it certainly is for me..in the last week I've

heard: "This shake is very banana-y," and "This table is more desky

than.."

Not to mention the subject heading of "Texan-y" on this very list the

day before yesterday).
