Proto-Basque
[edit]Suffix
[edit]*-g
- Forms absolutive plurals.
Reconstruction notes
[edit]The inflected forms of Basque plural demonstratives exhibit an apparent plural marker -e-. Case suffixes added after *-g would require an epenthetic *-e-. The resulting intervocalic *-g- would then be lost. However, this hypothesis is tentative.
