  Comments:
More compound adjectives rather than suffixes. But anyway, I think the existing entries cover it OK.

  Comments:
As a suffix, this is also used as a pejorative, as in 古臭い、嘘臭い、ケチ臭い etc. Not sure how that could be put, though.

GG5 has 4 & 5 in a separate "-臭い" entry, so I think they are OK in senses labelled "suf".
