Turkish edit
Etymology edit
From Ottoman Turkish ـلر, ultimately from Common Turkic *-ler, a plural suffix which absent from Proto-Turkic. Found as Old Turkic [script needed] (-lar) (back variant) but not found in the sister Oghur branch (compare Chuvash -сем (-sem), Bulgar -ڛَم), where it descended from *sāyïn (“every”). The Chuvash plural suffix, however, lacks vowel harmony unlike other suffixes.
