Laefevian

Etymology

Definitive origin is unknown but it must be a Proto-Laefevic innovation. Considering the suffix appears on roots denoting some kind of physical characteristic, 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 (contracted stem)

  1. (unproductive, fossilised) A structural suffix in certain adjectives that typically denote some kind of physical characteristic.
    *gjuk- (“short”) → žykat (“short”)
    *pʼiz (“to split”) → birat (“bitter”)
    *spajn- (“to glimmer”) → fênat (“wide, broad”)
    *bʱat- (“eye”) → vatat (“obvious, evident”)
    *dawm- (“under”) → lynat (“low”)
    *gar- (“big”) → ôrat (“big”)
