Unhaltbar ist die morphologische Analyse bei Schulze 435 f.: idg. Suffix -ios bei e/o-Nomina sowohl mit als ohne Stammauslaut, daher einerseits -e-ijosgr.-ειος lat. -eius, andrerseits gr.-ιος lat. -ius. Das Hauptzeugnis für gr.-ειος, der aeol. Gebrauch von patronym. -ειος bei o-Stämmen, ist eine Neuerung; dieses -ειος ist als Universalsuffix auch bei Kons.-Stämmen verwendet.
The morphological analysis in Schulze 435 f. is indefensible: Indo-Germanic suffix -ios with e/o-nouns both with and without stem-final vowels, hence on the one hand -e-ijosGreek-ειος Latin -eius, on the other hand Greek-ιος Latin -ius. The main evidence for Greek-ειος, the Aeolic use of patronymic -ειος with o-stems, is an innovation; this -ειος is used as a universal suffix with consonant stems.
