I like how in French you can add "ette" at the end of a word and you'll end up with a smaller version of that which the word signifies.
So for example, we have "cigar"
and when we add "ette", we get "cigarette".
The French word for "ball" is "boule".
How do you call a small ball in French? Boulette.
Thus, in English we have "bullet".
Then there is "barre" for helm.
A "barrette" would be a hair clip
and could "beret" possibly be a small helmet (helm+ette)?
Finally we have Alizée:
And when we add "ette", we end up with Alizette:
The most puzzling part about all this?
What in the name of Zeus is the bigger version of an "omelette"?
