-ntaa
Finnish
Etymology
From the essive/locative suffix -na + -taa. The stem-final vowel change (see usage notes) is due to analogy from -eA adjectives; leveä > leventää, but lievä > lieventää, as if from *lieveä.
Suffix
-ntaa (front vowel harmony variant -ntää, linguistic notation -ntAA)
Usage notes
The suffix is added to the genitive singular (weak grade) stem. A preceding stem-final a, ä changes to e, except in some newer derivations, such as kuvantaa and kustantaa (but also curiously parantaa).
