They can be divided<br clear='none'\/>\ninto two major categories: derivationally transparent and derivationally opaque. Derivationally<br clear='none'\/>\ntransparent nouns participate in a derivational opposition with independently attested base words and exhibit clear formal and semantic relations. By contrast, derivationally opaque nouns lack synchronically identifiable base words in Lithuanian and therefore do not participate in a<br clear='none'\/>\nderivational opposition. Derivationally opaque nouns comprise two distinct subtypes: nouns with<br clear='none'\/>\nbound stems that occur only in paired formations and nouns containing foreign formants that occur in isolation without corresponding pairs.
