1. Suffixed used to form adjectives from nouns.

   ‎музика (muzyka, “music”) + ‎-ичний (-yčnyj) → ‎музичний (muzyčnyj, “musical”)

   ‎лірика (liryka, “lyrics”) + ‎-ичний (-yčnyj) → ‎ліричний (liryčnyj, “lyrical”)

See for example методи́чний (metodýčnyj, “methodical”), from мето́дика (metódika, “method, methodology”).
