However, there are ways to imply shortness using other suffixes:
* -ette: This suffix is used to denote something small or diminutive, like "cigarette" or "kitchenette." It could be used to suggest something short, but it doesn't directly mean "short."
* -let: Similar to "-ette," this suffix denotes something small, like "booklet" or "piglet." It could also be used to suggest something short, but not explicitly.
* -y: This suffix can be used to form adjectives meaning "like" or "full of," and sometimes can indicate something small. While not directly related to "short," "shorty" does use "-y" to denote something small.
Ultimately, there isn't a perfect suffix for "short." You could use prefixes like "mini-" or "micro-" to denote something small, or use descriptive words like "brief" or "concise" to convey the idea of shortness.
