^ Skjærvø, Prods Oktor (2007) Introduction to Pahlavi, Cambridge, page 118: “-gar (-kar), -gār (-kār): These suffixes make nouns and adjectives meaning “doer of X, making X.” The form with -k- is found after the suffix -ag, which then keeps its older form -ak. They sometimes take an additional -ī-.”
