Hungarian
Suffix
-p
- (obsolete instantaneous suffix) It can be detected today only in a few obscured derivations such as harap (“to bite”), állapot (“state”), csillapodik (“to calm down”).
- (obsolete noun-forming suffix) It can be analyzed from a few derivatives. Presumably it became obsolete already in the Proto-Hungarian period. Its voiced variant -b has also developed. Found today only in a few words, such as közép, hasáb, nyaláb. When the language innovators created the nouns alap (“base”) and szerep (“role”), they inferred the -p suffix from back-formations such as telep back-formed from telepedik, ülep back-formed from ülepedik which were originally formed with the instantaneous suffix -p.

Usage notes
In Cuzco-Collao Quechua, the genetive case varies between -q (after vowels) and -pa (after consonants). Thus, one would say llamaq "of the llama" but atuqpa "of the fox". In Ayacucho-Chanca Quechua, the genetive is always -pa.
