The research novelty is determined by the lack of studies of this matter using the Karelian materials. The relevance of the study is seen in the fact that morphology is one of the basic sections in the study of any language, and currently the Livvi dialect of the Karelian language is actively taught in the educational institutions of the Republic of Karelia, while the Ludic dialect is at the initial stage of the revitalization process. Since the aforementioned adverbs are closely related to each other, the conducted comparative study can lay the foundation for further research of their grammatical structure, namely the morphological word formation in the Karelian language. The research was carried out using comparative method and comparative historical analysis, for which the authors selected the names of illnesses and diseases from the dictionaries of the Karelian language, samples of theKarelian oral language, and the Open Corpus of Veps and Karelian languages (VepKar), as well as the corresponding lexical units collected from the speakers of the Livvi dialect. This choice of study material can explained by the fact that the analysis of the names of illnesses and diseases makes it possible to trace the meaning and usage (attachment) of the suffi xes -ndu/-ndy/-nd(e) and -hine, which the authors managed to achieve as the result of the study. Having examined the suffi xes -ndu/-ndy/-nd(e) and -hine in the names of illnesses and diseases from the Livvi and Ludic dialects of the Karelian language, the authors concluded that they had identical meanings: the suffi xes -ndu/-ndy/-nd(e) denote the result of an action or an action process, while the suffi x -hine denotes the names of living and mythical creatures or phenomena (in this particular case, mythological diseases). It is interesting to note that when a complex deverbal affi x -ndahine/-ndähine comprised of two suffi xes (-ndu/-ndy/-nd(e) + -hine), each with its own semantic specifi cs, is added, they acquire the same semantic meaning: one part of lexemes starts meaning the result of an action, while another – a mythological creature or, as in this case, a certain mythological disease
