Kazakh
Etymology
From Common Turkic *-ler, a plural suffix which is absent from Proto-Turkic. Found as Old Turkic (-lar) (back variant) but not found in the sister Oghur branch (compare Chuvash -сем (-sem), Bulgar -ڛَم), where it descended from *sāyïn (“every”). The Chuvash plural suffix, however, lacks vowel harmony unlike other suffixes.
