EsperantoEdit

EtymologyEdit

The Esperanto suffixes -as, -is, -os, -us are related, and appear to have been inspired by previous language projects:

This play of vowels is not an original idea of Zamenhof's: -as, -is, -os are found for the three tenses of the infinitive in Faiguet's system of 1765; -a, -i, -o without a consonant are used like Z's -as, -is, -os by Rudelle (1858); Courtonne in 1885 had -am, -im, -om in the same values, and the similarity with Esperanto is here even more perfect than in the other projects, as -um corresponds to Z's -us.An International Language (1928)

SuffixEdit

-os

  1. will; ending of future tense in verbs.
    Mi iros al la vendejo.I will go to the store.

FinnishEdit

EtymologyEdit

From Proto-Finnic *-os. Equivalent to -o +‎ -s, or re-extracted from verbs with stems ending in o.

PronunciationEdit

SuffixEdit

-os (front vowel harmony variant -ös)

  1. Forms nouns denoting the result of the action of a verb.
    liittää (to join) + ‎-os → ‎liitos (joining, joint)
    muuntaa (to change, convert) + ‎-os → ‎muunnos (conversion)

Usage notesEdit

Roots with the neutral front vowels e, i take the back-vocalic allomorph -os (e.g. piirtää (to draw)piirros (drawing)). The form -ös is only used when the first syllable of the root contains a front rounded vowel (e.g. näyttää (to show)näytös (act)).
