Summary/Abstract: The adjective derived from the noun sele ‘piglet’ is not very frequent in Czech. Nowadays, the form selečí is encountered more often than the expected (and older) form selecí. The article tries to explain the origin of the two forms of this word and to consider them from the point of view of linguistic correctness.
