edit*-tu
- general classifier suffix
Usage notes
edit- This suffix was generally attached to cardinal numerals in order to directly modify almost any noun.
- However, *pi (“day”) was generally not counted with this classifier, instead *-ka was used. Hence, *təwə (“10”) would be suffixed to create *təwəka.
