[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Proto-Finnic *-n. Cognate with Finnish -n.
Suffix

- A zero suffix.
- The genitive singular ending for nominals.
Usage notes
[edit]Although the original Proto-Finnic suffix becomes silent due to historic sound changes, formation of genitive case remains unpredictable and depends on declension types, although it always ends in a vowel. These include no addition, additions of vowels or sometimes with consonants, syncope, deletion, and also often involves consonant and vowel length gradation. See more at Appendix:Estonian nominal inflection.
