Summary/Abstract: This article deals with agent nouns formed with the suffix -čí (lovčí m.), attested both in the Old Czech and the Middle Czech period. The study provides their formal and semantic description and compares their word-formation development. In particular, it further examines the relations between agent nouns formed by the suffixes -cě, -ec (lovec) and adjectives ending with -í derived from those nouns (lovčí adj.).
