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.
Descendants[edit]
- ⇒? Basque: -ak
