Etymology
From Proto-Hirdic *-ghós, from Proto-Laenkean *-gʱós. This development is famously unexpected, as the stressed *ó is expected to become *á after the preceding velar. This is typically theorised to have been a mass levelling with the other o-stem ending, *-ðor. Another interpretation of this is that the change did not occur over morpheme boundaries, cf. *-ɣalur ← *-gʱó-l-os.
