[Facts] Re: Question about Greek names
1. The paragraph means that you can make diminutives by adding -oula or -itsa to female names, and -aki to male names.
2. No idea.
3. The male equivalent is -aki or -ako (it says it right there in the text!)If you want a more colloquial explanation of Greek diminutives, check out this thread:

Thanks loads! As for #3 - I'm running on the fumes of 3 hours of sleep and didn't entirely understand the text :) That's why I needed it explained. Again, thank you.
