Reconstruction:Proto-Basque/-g

This Proto-Basque entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Basque

Suffix

*-g

  1. Forms absolutive plurals.

Reconstruction notes

The inflected forms of Basque plural demonstratives exhibit an apparent plural marker -e-. Case suffixes added after *-g would require an epenthetic *-e-. The resulting intervocalic *-g- would then be lost. However, this hypothesis is tentative.
