Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *-gaz (β-y, -icβ), from Proto-Indo-European *-kos, *-αΈ±os (β-y, -icβ).
Suffix
-π²π β’ (-gs)
- -y, -ic; forms adjectives from nouns and verbs with a sense of 'being, having, or doing'.
Usage notes
Usually, this suffix is attached to the full stem of the base word. Thus, the variant -π°π²π (-ags) (variant -π°π·π (-ahs)) is mostly associated with derivations from a-stem nouns, -π΄πΉπ²π (-eigs) with derivations from i-stem nouns and -πΏπ²π (-ugs) with derivations from u-stem nouns. These do not however seem to have been fixed rules and occasionally there are atypical derivations, such as π
πΏπ»πΈπ°π²π (wulΓΎags) from the u-stem π
πΏπ»πΈπΏπ (wulΓΎus) and note the alternation between long and short vowels in π²π°π±πΉπ²π (gabigs) (apparently with a suffix -igs) and π²π°π±π΄πΉπ²π (gabeigs).
