What is the rule for applying suffix to word ending in why when preceded by a consonant?

There isn't a specific rule for applying suffixes to words ending in "why" preceded by a consonant. This is because words ending in "why" are quite rare in English.

Here's why:

* "Why" is usually a question word. It's not a common word ending for nouns or adjectives.

* "Why" is rarely used as a suffix. There are very few words formed by adding "why" to a base word.

Therefore, there's no established rule for adding suffixes to words ending in "why" because such situations are uncommon.

If you encounter a word ending in "why," it's best to check a dictionary or reliable language resource to see if there are any specific rules or exceptions that apply.
