Alternative forms

Etymology

Compared to Proto-Mongolic *-ulča (cooperative suffix), *-uldu (reciprocative suffix)^[1] and also Proto-Tungusic *-ldu (reciprocative suffix)^[2], Mongolian -лд (-ld), -лс (-ls).^[3]

According to Talât Tekin, a cognate of Proto-Mongolic *-lča: Proto-Turkic *karïĺč- (“to mix together”), Proto-Mongolic *karilča- (“to be related or connected to each other”); Proto-Turkic *koĺïĺč- (“to add together”), Proto-Mongolic *kolilča-.^[4] (See Turkish karışmak and Azerbaijani qoşmaq). The verb qolilča- mentioned by Tekin should be Mongolian холилдох (xolildox) (<*kolildu-) because the mentioned word is not found in Mongolic languages.
