I don't know if someone will answer, but... Since this guild is both for people learning and people already speaking Esperanto, I thought that we could have a question/answer topic...
So, there's my question: Is there some sort of hierarchy between Esperanto's suffixes?
For example, a group of female wolves is luparidino or lupidarino or... what?
Thank you lots! T^T

I think suffixes can be mixed and don't really need to be in a particular order but I'll check.
Where are you getting the "d" though?
Lupo+in+ar+o should mean a pack of female wolves.

Aha! Was looking through Bildoj Kaj Demandoj again and found this.
"La hobio de Ana estas Esperanto, do kio ŝi estas?
Ŝi estas esperantisto. (Ŝi estas esperantistino.)"
So Luparino? Which would literally translate as a "pack of wolves that are female". Lupinaro would be a "female wolf pack". Which is the same thing, basically. I don't think it really matters too much, but if you want to follow the pattern in that example, Luparino seems to be right.

Also found another example
"Kio estas malgranda knabino, per alia vorto?
Malgranda knabino, per alia vorto, estas knabineto."
Seems like "in" is always before the other suffixes.

Sorry, I meant "a group of female little wolves". ( -id- is for puppies, isn't it? Hundido, katido...)
This is confusing... ò_O Where I studied suffixes (I think it was from wikibooks) it always did put -in- at the end... so I thought -in- should be the last one. eek
... ... Maybe you can really mix them... confused

The only suffixes that I've seen have rules are o, j, and n.
Hmm...

I believe it would be lupinidaro.
