Laefevian

Etymology

Nominalised form of -is, equivalent to -is + (-noun-deriving suffix).

Pronunciation

Suffix

-est (nominal, consonant stem)

  1. (productive) Added to transitive verbs to form words meaning a person or thing that is the object of that verb (i.e., to whom or to which an action is done); akin to English -ee.
    volad (“to teach”) → voljest (“learner, pupil, student”)
    lestynad (“to domesticate”) → lestynjest (“domestic animal”)
    ôhñôevad (“to add, to sum”) → ôhñôelvest (“addend, summand, augend”)
    ynad (“to know”) → ynjest (“acquaintance”)
    nekad (“to catch”) → nešest (“captive”)
  2. (productive) Added to nouns to create terms for people who attend, participate in, or go to an event; similar to English -goer.
    ôdøst (“fair”) → ôdøssest (“fairgoer”)
    juohda (“festival”) → juohdest (“festivalgoer”)
    vidulno (“theatre”) → vidulnøst (“theatregoer”)

Usage notes

The suffix causes palatalisation of the final stem consonant or consonant cluster in sense 1 but may not always happen in sense 2.
