Etymology

[edit]

    Commonly regarded as a borrowing from Balinese -in. Nothofer argues that it also conflates Proto-Malayic *-ən (ultimately from Proto-Austronesian *-ən) and *-i (ultimately from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *-i), resulting in a different allomorphy and a more extensive use compared to the Balinese suffix. Compare Bangka -en, Minangkabau -an, and Kendayan -atn.[1]

    [edit]

    The use of this suffix is restricted to cases where it is not preceded by a labial vowel (o, u, y, ö), the vowel i, a long vowel (it is shortened if necessary) or a diphthong (since it itself forms a diphthong). It is not used if the resulting word would be monosyllabic.

    Etymology 5

    From Proto-Finnic *-in (adjectival suffix), a variant of the diminutive suffix Proto-Finnic *-ma.

    Etymology 6

    [edit]

    From Proto-Finnic *-den (genitive plural suffix for some nouns), from the nominative plural ending *-t + genitive ending *-n (with an epenthetic *-e-).

    Suffix

    [edit]

    -in (rare)

    1. Forms the genitive plural.
    Usage notes
    [edit]
    • Suffixed to the nominative singular but the final -i changes to -e-.
    • Note, however, that the more common suffix for the genitive plural is -en added to the plural stem ending with i or j. A link consonant d is also sometimes present.
    • Nowadays this suffix is rare and usually gives an archaic tone. Certain proper nouns, however, retain this, e.g. Yhdysvaltain, from Yhdysvallat ("United States", singular stem Yhdysvalta-), where also the more modern form Yhdysvaltojen is possible.

      • For speakers who realise -en as [ən], the distinction between both may at times be weak. However, most speakers have a syllabic nasal in -en and hence keep a very clear distinction.
