Suffix[edit]
*-si
- Suffix equiping headword for third-person singular.
Usage notes[edit]
- If the suffix comes to a word ending in a consonant, it takes *-i (or *-ï) form.
- This word has a feature where there is an "unstable n" that occurs only when it is conjugated, so the form becomes *-sI(n-).
- *tebesi (“(his/her/its) camel”) + *-si → *tebesinte (“at (his/her/its) camel (locative)”)
