-ably
Generally only used to form analogs to adjectives ending in-able, replacing the existing-able. Rather than a distinct suffix, this can be considered a class of euphonic blends of-ble and-ly, as infeebly,nimbly, andnobly, among others. Compare-ability, which is more strictly an analog, originating in parallel borrowings from French, sometimes Latin.
