Geeeeez! Most of the words above are actually Slavic loans, suffix, base
and all! <-isko> and <-is^c^e> are used in Slavic in exactly the same
senses; cf. Polish toporzysko 'axe handle'; they may also function as
expressive (augmentative) suffixes.

NONSENSE (see above).

Why does any sound change take place? I have little to explain here.
PSl. *s^c^ derives from *stj or from palatalised *sk (before *j or a
front vowel). The pronunciation /s^c^/ is retained in East and West
Slavic, but it evolved into /s^t/ almost everywhere in South Slavic.
This happened not only in the suffix *-is^c^e -- all occurrences of
*s^c^ were affected. The change must be rather old: we find it already
in Old Church Slavic.
