-pil.

-PĪL diminutive compounding element; pl: -PIPĪL C gives the difficult example of PILPĪL 'little boy,’ the plural of which (to be found in M as well) is PĪPILPIPĪL, with reduplication of both the stem and the diminutive element. Since PIL 'child' has a short vowel in the stem and a long vowel in its reduplication, while diminutive -PĪL has a long vowel with short-vowel reduplication, this leads to mirrored relative vowel length (long-short, short-long) which has been confused in the 1892 reprinting of Carochi. It is correct in the original printing.
