===Etymology===
A fusion of Medieval Greek ''-ος'' (-os) and ''-ας'' (as), with the loss of final -s during the early stages and the raising of ''o'' > ''a'' in most dialects, ultimately inherited from Proto-Indo-European ''*-os'' and cognate with Latin ''-us'', Icelandic ''-ur'' and Italian ''-o''.

# ''forms the indefinite singular form of nouns''
# Used to form first declension nouns, declined like "gnudzsa".


====Usage notes====
# Used to form agent nouns on certain weak verbs
As with all other affixes associated with nouns, ''-a'' implicitly nominalizes the root.
#: ''darao'' (To perform an action, intervene) > ''darata'' (Action, combat)
