    ба́за (báza, base) + ‎-овый (-ovyj) → ‎ба́зовый (bázovyj, base, basic)

Usage notes

edit

The suffix is added to the stem (i.e. without final vowels, as in ба́з- and сосн- above, and without epenthetic vowels, as in кулачк- above). The stress of the base form is preserved. If the stress of the base is on a lost vowel, it is transferred to the suffix.
