===Etymology===
In Silōs, this suffix apparently was combined with an implied or "zero" verbalizing suffix, transferring the meaning from "as/like something" to "to make as/like something". Possibly due to conflation, blending, or association with the verb [[Contionary:a#Silōs|a]] ("to be") or the verb [[Contionary:*ri(x)a|*ri(x)a]] ("to cause, to effect").
