-е • (-e)

1. Alternative form of -о (-o): Suffix added to adjectives to produce adverbs; highly productive; used in place of -о (-o) after palatal consonants, hushing consonants (ч ш щ ж) and ц

   ‎злове́щий (zlovéščij, “ominous”) + ‎-е (-e) → ‎злове́ще (zlovéšče, “ominously”)

   ‎неуклю́жий (neukljúžij, “clumsy, awkward”) + ‎-е (-e) → ‎неуклю́же (neukljúže, “clumsily, awkwardly”)

   ‎изли́шний (izlíšnij, “excessive”) + ‎-е (-e) → ‎изли́шне (izlíšne, “excessively”)

   ‎кра́йний (krájnij, “extreme, utmost”) + ‎-е (-e) → ‎кра́йне (krájne, “extremely, very, too”)

   ‎вне́шний (vnéšnij, “outward, outer”) + ‎-е (-e) → ‎вне́шне (vnéšne, “outwardly, externally, outside, outdoors”)

   ‎дю́жий (djúžij, “hefty; very strong (low colloquial)”) + ‎-е (-e) → ‎дю́же (djúže, “very (colloquial, dialectal)”)

• This ending is always unstressed. In circumstances where it would be stressed, -о (-o) replaces it. Compare хорошо́ (xorošó, “well”) from хоро́ший (xoróšij, “good”), давно́ (davnó, “long ago”) from да́вний (dávnij, “old, ancient, bygone”), etc.

-е • (-e)

1. Used to form comparatives from adjectives and adverbs ending in a velar, ie. х г к.

   ‎ти́хо (tíxo, “quietly”) + ‎-е (-e) → ‎ти́ше (tíše, “more quietly”)

• This ending is always unstressed, and palatalizes the final velar of the stem.
• The endings -ее (-eje) or -е́е (-éje) are used when the stem does not end in a velar.
