Suffix

[edit]

-πŒ²πƒ β€’ (-gs)

  1. -y, -ic; forms adjectives from nouns and verbs with a sense of 'being, having, or doing'.

Usage notes

[edit]

Usually, this suffix is attached to the full stem of the base word. Thus, the variant -πŒ°πŒ²πƒ (-ags) (variant -πŒ°πŒ·πƒ (-ahs)) is mostly associated with derivations from a-stem nouns, -πŒ΄πŒΉπŒ²πƒ (-eigs) with derivations from i-stem nouns and -πŒΏπŒ²πƒ (-ugs) with derivations from u-stem nouns. These do not however seem to have been fixed rules and occasionally there are atypical derivations, such as π…πŒΏπŒ»πŒΈπŒ°πŒ²πƒ (wulΓΎags) from the u-stem π…πŒΏπŒ»πŒΈπŒΏπƒ (wulΓΎus) and note the alternation between long and short vowels in πŒ²πŒ°πŒ±πŒΉπŒ²πƒ (gabigs) (apparently with a suffix -igs) and πŒ²πŒ°πŒ±πŒ΄πŒΉπŒ²πƒ (gabeigs).
