-né-		‎(oblique stem *-n-)	Forms mostly transitive imperfective verbs from perfective intransitive roots.	SEE ALSO: *-néwti; USAGE: The infix is inserted into the zero grade of the root, before the final consonant, which must be a stop or laryngeal. The root must also contain a sonorant non-initially.

SEE ALSO: *-yéti; DERIVED TERMS: *-éyeti, *-éh₁yeti; USAGE NOTES: In many daughter languages, this suffix came to be affixed to stems as well.

Proto-Indo-European

Etymology

Possible metathesis of *h₁wes- (“good”), or perhaps related to *h₁es- (“to be”).

Hittite 𒀀𒀸𒋗𒍑 (āššuš, “good”) and possibly Epic Greek ἠΰς (ēǘs, id.) provide strong evidence for a u-stem adjective *h₁óh₁s-u-s, gen.sg. *h₁h₁s-éw-s, which would point to a reduplicated root *h₁es-. Since Proto-Indo-European apparently did not allow geminate clusters, the weak stem would have simplified to *h₁s-éw-; this could be the source of the combining form *h₁su-, with which it would be identical in the zero-grade.

Proto-Indo-European

Alternative forms

*-dʰlom, *-tlom, *-trom

Etymology

Variant of *-trom.

Sometimes hypothesized to have developed from assimilation to a preceding voiced aspirate (compare Bartholomae's law in Indo-Iranian). Sihler describes this as the usual explanation and considers it "the only remotely plausible" one if the *t- forms of the suffix are original, but says it is problematic, noting that this form of the suffix is not attested in contexts like Greek λέκτρον (léktron) (from Proto-Indo-European *legʰ-) even though, under this hypothesis, the *-dʰ-initial variants would have originated in words like this.

Based on the contexts in which it occurs, Olsen 1988 argues that it actually originated from coalescence of a voiceless laryngeal (*h₁ or *h₂) with the following *-t-, initially resulting in a voiceless aspirate, which is proposed to have merged with the outcome of voiced aspirates in the languages in which this allomorph is attested.

Alternative reconstructions

• *-h₃enh₂-, *-h₃onh₂-

Reconstruction

In literature this morpheme might be referred to as "Hoffmann's suffix". It is often reconstructed with a *h₃ on the basis of the voice assimilation in the word *h₂ábh₃on- < *h₂ep-h₃on- (“river”), although some authorities might also reconstruct an unspecified laryngeal, *H. Sometimes identified with the root *h₃enh₂- (“onerate”).

Usage notes

These nominals are known as vṛddhi in Indo-Europeanist literature. The *e that the base incorporates in such formations is not necessarily the e-grade of the root; the *e is instead located after the first consonant of the root, no matter the root shape.

Proto-Indo-European

Alternate Reconstructions

• *(é)-ōs ~ *(é)-es-os (acrostatic)

Etymology

From *(é)-os-s from *(é)-os (neuter s-stem) +‎ *-s (non-neuter nominative), with simplification of the geminate consonant /s/ and compensatory lengthening. Compare *-yōs.

Suffix

*(é)-ōs m or f

1. Creates masculine and feminine action nouns or result nouns from verbs.

Usage notes

The use of *-ōs as a derivational suffix to form nouns is supported by very limited evidence in Proto-Indo-European or any descendants other than Latin (where -or, -ōris became a somewhat common means of deriving masculine abstract nouns from the stems of verbs or occasionally adjectives) and descendants of Latin.

Suffix

*PIE-affixes

1. Contrastive or oppositional adjectival suffix.

Usage notes

In Proto-Indo-European, X-teros meant "one which is especially X", "one which is more X than other things", "one which is X as opposed to something else". Compare:

• Sanskrit: उद् (ud) → उत्तर (uttara, “upper”)
• Greek: δεξιός (dexiós, “right”) → δεξιτερός (dexiterós, “right”) (as opposed to "left")
• Latin: māter (“mother”) → mātertera (“maternal aunt”) (literally "the mother one").

In some daughters the suffix was grammaticalized as the marker of a comparative degree in adjectives:

• Greek: γλυκύς (glukús, “sweet”) → γλυκύτερος (glukúteros, “sweeter”)

In some daughters it attracted various pronominal adjectives (determiners), i.e. words meaning "other":

• Sanskrit: अन्यतर (anyatara)
• Latin: al-ter
• Gothic: 𐌰𐌽-𐌸𐌰𐍂 (an-þar)

or possessives:

• Greek: ἡμέ-τερος (hēmé-teros)
• Latin: nos-ter (“our”)
• Old Irish: náthar (“of us two”)

*(é)-tis f

1. Derives abstract/action nouns from verb roots.

Reconstruction notes

Whether this suffix had a proterokinetic inflection has been contested. Descendants predominantly have a zero-grade root; those with full-grade root (often with final laryngeal) show a distribution similar to verbal adjectives in *-tós. The varying accentuation of Vedic abstract nouns on -ति (-ti) can be explained as a chronological evolution within Sanskrit, with the original accent mostly on the suffix. To account for the ablaut in the suffix (*-ti- vs. *-tey-), an explanation based on syllable structure has been proposed: when the following ending (originally) started with a consonant, the suffix has zero grade in Indo-Iranian, otherwise full grade. The genitive singular is then explained by the ending *-s coming from earlier *-es/*-os.

Etymology

Thematicized from the zero-grade of *-tḗr.

Originally the neuter gender of some adjective *-tros meaning "of the doer, of doing". Of note is the similar development later exercised by daughter languages (e.g. Latin -tor > -tōrius (“of the doer, of doing”) > -tōrium (“thing/ place of the doer”)).

-yéh₁-

This entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Indo-European

Suffix

*(Ø)-yéh₁- (oblique stem *(Ø)-ih₁-)

1. Forms the optative mood of verbs.

Usage notes

This suffix was a derivational suffix in early PIE, like for example *-sḱéti. It was affixed directly to roots in the zero grade rather than to verb stems, and was not formed to statives.

This entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Indo-European

Suffix

*(é)-yeti

1. Creates transitive imperfective verbs from roots.

Usage notes

In many daughter languages, this suffix came to be affixed to stems as well. It was used frequently to convert originally athematic inflections into thematic inflections.

-yós

This entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Indo-European

Suffix

*(Ø)-yós

1. Creates adjectives from noun stems.

Usage notes

When affixed to athematic nouns, the thematic vowel of the suffix was stressed and the noun appeared in the oblique stem. When affixed to thematic nouns, the thematic vowel of the noun was dropped; accent remained on the noun stem if the thematic vowel was not originally accented.
