Etymology

From -in, but Potet (2013) finds this suffix as abnormal so surmises it to be influenced by Sanskrit -इन् (-in) as in अपचारिन् (apacārin), specifically for salarin.

• IPA^(key): /ˈɾin/, [ˈɾin]

-rin (verb-forming suffix, adjective-forming suffix, noun-forming suffix, Baybayin spelling ᜇᜒᜈ᜔)
