In most cases, a single letter is not considered a suffix unless it can also be considered a syllable or single-letter modifier.

For example, in the word "finally" the "-ly" would be considered a suffix, the "y" is not (at least not in this instance).

A "y" by itself can sometimes be considered a suffix as in scanty or flinty where it modifies the word on its own.

In the word tally, neither the -ly nor the -y are suffixes, the -ly is just part of the word.


So whether it's a suffix depends on the construction of the word to which it is attached and whether the suffix can be variously used to modify a number of different words.
