Some word endings are typical of Stockholm dialects. When windmills were used they were given female names ending in ''-an''. For instance a windmill owned by a Dutchman () would be called ("Dutchwoman"). The ''-an'' ending was later adopted for other places. For instance, Kungsträdgården became and ("library") became . Another ending is ''-is'' from Latin Svenska dialektmysterier, SVT, February 1, 2006 although in practice it is used roughly as a diminutive or to add familiarity.

Player-coach
A player–coach (also playing coach, captain–coach, or player–manager) is a member of a sports team who simultaneously holds both playing and coaching duties. Player–coaches may be head coaches or assistant coaches, and they may make changes to the squad and also play on the team. Very few current major professional sports teams have head coaches who are also players, though it is common for senior players to take a role in managing more junior athletes. Historically, when professional sports had less money to pay players and coaches or managers, player–coaches were more common. Likewise, where player–coaches exist today, they are more common at, but not exclusive to, the lower levels where money is less available. Player–coaches in basketball The player–coach was, for many decades, a long-time fixture in professional basketball. Many notable coaches in the NBA served as player–coaches, including Bill Russell and Lenny Wilkens. This was especially true up thr ...
