The relationship between the word­formation meaning and the lexical meaning on the one hand and the relationship between potentiality and reality of the lexical meaning on the other hand belongs to the topics repeatedly dealt with by Klára Buzássyová.

Denominal relational adjectives still represent a lexicographic challenge in terms of treating their (real) lexical meaning.
