Grammar
word formation process
Hey guys,
I would like to know the formation process of the followings
1) Judo (I think the formation process used here is BLENDING)
2) hurdy Gurdy
3) Cardy
I would also like to know if (SCHOLARLY)= scholar(ly) is deadjectival adverb suffix or denominal adjective.
Thanks a bunch!

2. This is an imitation of the sound that this instrument supposedly makes.
3. This apparently means a cardigan sweater or a card sharp, in either case it would be a diminution of the word.

I would like to know under what category should this imitation ( onomatopoeia) be. (No.2)
should it be back-formation, blending, borrowing, clipping etc.

Anonymous you're beautifulThat's not necessarily a photo of the person writing the posts, you know, so I'm not so sure "you" is the word you want!

Besides, it's not beautiful but handsome. That looks more appropriate. 
Anyways, back to the discussion.
