Summary/Abstract: The article looks into the basic word-formation relations – semantic motivation and formal foundation – and the tension between them. It presents three cases of word-formative analogy, i.e. imitating of a productive word-formative model by the copying of a morfematic structure of derivatives, regardless of the completeness or incompleteness of the derivative line. The article reflects experience gained during the work on Dictionary of affixes used in Czech.
