Etymology

Definitive origin is unknown but it must be a Proto-Laefevic innovation. Considering the suffix appears in adjectives denoting some kind of physical characteristic or property, one hypothesis suggests that it comes from a suffixed *bʱatas (“eye”), as seen in savat (“blind”) (which is from Proto-Laenkean *sɯʔbʱatas).

Pronunciation

Suffix

-at (adjectival, contracted stem)

  1. (unproductive, fossilised) A structural suffix in certain adjectives that typically denote some kind of physical characteristic.
    *gjuk- (“short”) → žykat (“short”)

    *bʱat- (“eye”) → vatat (“obvious, evident”)
