i want to know the rules to make a noun
(person) out of a noun (general). for example, to make pianist
out of piano or to make new yorker out of new
york.
pianist guitarist percussionist accordionist
trumpetter drummer
but
isn't it saxsophone player, is it? saxophonist? i don't think
so.
and people live in that area too. okinawan
(okinawa) hawaiian (hawaii) new yorker (new york) japanese
(japan)
how about (nagano) ? is it naganese? and
(saga)? is it sagan?
any rules?
