[edit]Etymology
[edit]From the dative inflection of Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (-mäk/-mak), ultimately from Proto-Turkic *-mek. Compare Turkish -mek, Azerbaijani -mək. The usage of the dative case as the infinitive suffix is probably a semantic loan from Romanian a, which also both conveys the same meaning as the Gagauz dative case and forms infinitives. By surface analysis, -mäk + -ä
