Alternative forms

Etymology

Compared to Proto-Mongolic *-ulča (cooperative suffix), *-uldu (reciprocative suffix),^[1] Mongolian -лд (-ld), -лс (-ls).^[2]

According to Talât Tekin, a cognate of Proto-Mongolic *-lča: Proto-Turkic *karïĺč- (“to mix together”), Proto-Mongolic *karilča- (“to be related or connected to each other”); Proto-Turkic *koĺïĺč- (“to add together”), Proto-Mongolic *kolilča-.^[3] (See Turkish karışmak and Azerbaijani qoşmaq) But EDAL doesn't think that *karïĺč- and *qarilča- are related. It has a different etymology in the database.^[4] The verb qolilča- mentioned by Tekin should be Mongolian холилдох (xolildox) (<*kolildu-) because the mentioned word is not found in Mongolic languages.
