For this study, Jeonnam Dialect Dictionary compiled by Ki-gab Lee et al.

Among the 4,455 verbs listed in Jeonnam Dialect Dictionary, 1,279 are derivatives. Subjecting the 1,279 derivatives to suffix analyses, a total of 23 suffixes were discovered and their characteristics were looked at. In verb-derived suffixes of Jeonnam dialect, the most typical phenomena would be stressed suffix of Korean central dialect, '-뜨 리(트리)-‘, deriving in Jeonnam dialect '-치’ or '-씨‘ suffixes with added stress.
