Pronunciation

This entry needs pronunciation information. If you are familiar with the IPA then please add some!

Etymology 1

The objective template V + IO + IT + IS with all the slots filled in is expected to yield a Common-Mordvinic *kunda-s-aj2-zə (using кундамс (kundams) as an example) "he/she/it caught him/her/it." In Erzya this produced кундызе (kundiźe) and in Moksha — кундазе (kundaźe). Both via intermediary *kundajzə. In conclusion: this suffix is of subject marking origin.[1]

Etymology 2

The Erzya counterpart -м (-m) traces back to *-mV. The Moksha counterpart is an anomaly. Based on the dialectal form -nze, it is possible that this suffix represents fusion of *-m (or -н (-n)) and ся (śa, “that”).[2]

There is variation in the dative form of this suffix, compare кудозти (kudoźťi) (Poljakov) and прязенди (pŕaźeńďi) (Golenkov), Poljakov also gives кудозенди (kudoźeńďi).
