In DR,
when the object ends in 'to' or 'ta' we add a 'co' or a 'ca' depending on the gender instead of the usual 'to' or 'ta'. For example
Gato=cat Gatico =kitten instead of gatito
Pato=duck patico =ducklin instead of patito
I believe this is not only done in DR, but also in Venezuela and Cuba. I may be wrong, perhaps other can elaborate.
