-ónk
Hungarian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From -ó + -nk (personal-pronoun suffix). The vowel -ó is explained as an impact of kettőnk (“the two of us”), from kettő (“two”) + -nk (“of us”, personal-pronoun suffix) where the ő is part of the base word but by analogy it began to be used with other numerals and pronouns, along with its harmonic variant of -ó.
