Etymology

Pronunciation

Suffix

-д (-d)

  1. (North Sakhalin, East Sakhalin) indicative mood marker for verbs
  2. (South Sakhalin) infinitive marker for verbs (see usage notes)
  3. (North Sakhalin, East Sakhalin, South Sakhalin) nominaliser (see usage notes)

Usage notes

In South Sakhalin Nivkh, a distinction is made between this suffix, used for the infinitive, and with two other suffixes derived from the same Proto-Nivkh suffix:

As a nominaliser, forms action and result nouns, denotes the instrument or object of an action, or denotes something characterised by the attribute described by the verb (e.g. "to be green" > "verdure").
