Diminutives not actually formed with -let as a suffix

About

As opposed to 'true' -lets, for which I have another list. 'The oldest words in Eng. with this ending are adoptions of OF. words formed by adding the dim. suffix -et, -ete (see -ET1) to ns. with the ending -el, in some cases repr. the L. dim. suffix -ellum, -ellam, and in others the L. ending -amacle of neuter adjs. (see -AL1). Examples are bracelet, chaplet, crosslet, forcelet, frontlet, gauntlet, hamlet, mantelet. It is somewhat difficult to see how these words gave rise to the Eng. use of -let as a diminutive suffix, as none of them, exc. the heraldic crosslet, have the appearance of being diminutives of Eng. words; possibly Fr. diminutives like enfantelet, femmelette, osselet, tartelette, were directly imitated by some Eng. writers.'
