The addition of a Y to a name or noun may be a diminutive (doggy, puppy) or it can make the noun into an adjective, meaning "having the same attributes." Where an E is present, it may be dropped.
Examples:
horse - horsey, jaunt - jaunty, health - healthy
(dropped E) spice- spicy, ease, easy, whine- whiny,
(double letter) fin - finny, fun - funny
