    Close enough, but not closest. I would say “Bearie” is closer. You wouldn’t call an actual bear “bearlike” but you might name it “Bearie”.

    I didn’t say “mainen” and “kainen” are dissimilar, but they ARE different. By about the same amount as the difference between doglike/doggy and doggie.
