You have the quote above that explains it is exactly about the noun. You can not decline nouns without knowing their gender. What do you not understand about the following sentence?
The NOUN is serving as the subject, not the adjective. Learn the difference.

No not the noun it does not state that it's the suffix serving as a nominative to the other suffix.
This means one suffix representing the other.
Like it starts from a MALE and from there on it changes into other possibilities.
Let me spell it out for you.
1. nominative neuter singular of -lus
Translation LUM is doing the action of LUS, or better put a makes a representation of the LUS (the main suffix)
Pepsella, the noun determines the adjective by its gender. You still do not understand how to decline in Latin. How can you possibly think give insight when you do not even have a basic understanding of how the language works?
There is no 'main suffix' they are all equal and determined by the noun and what its relatioship is to the speaker/writer/observer. What do you not get?
en.wiktionary.org...
-lum
1. nominative neuter singular of -lus
2. accusative masculine singular of -lus
3. accusative neuter singular of -lus
4. vocative neuter singular of -lus
lus m. (feminine -la, neuter -lum); first/second declension
The suffix -lus is added to a noun to form a diminutive of that noun.
The suffix -LUM is added to a noun to form a diminutive of that noun.

Here let me help you:
lus m. (feminine -la, neuter -lum); first/second declension
As you can see the rest is secundary the main suffix is masculine LUS
Latin words of the first declension have an invariable stem and are generally of feminine gender. source showing pepsella the error of his ways
lum
1. nominative neuter singular of -lus
2. accusative masculine singular of -lus

The other suffixes are a representation of LUS. as the main suffix that describes the root.
You may remain ignorant.
And '-lus' is a represenation of them.

No it's the other way around, the other suffixes represent LUS, they are nominative of LUS.
