[Moeller] yes. And speacialy i got the example with lat.
pacalis=pacalici
In latin so far I know, "pacalis" was the one who brought to
someone the peace, the most known Pax Romana, in fact just a
kinda diplomat for peace.
Strange is, in romanian "pacalici" means a person who make
bloody, bad jokes, and "a pacali"= to betry someone.Adn the
folk invented a name, personifying this word . So was born the
romanian "Pãcalã". This one is the guy who mad just bloody
jokes with all the peoples .
Again, is interesting to see, there are no several pacalici in
romanian . There is only one. Because singular and plural form
are same. :-)))

P.S. I know the lingvistic explanation for substatives which
in sg end in "i". The last sentence was there just with
intenion. Only one Pacalis, the one with Pax Romana:-))
