- suffix used to form mostly abstract nouns from nouns, adjectives, and verbs
Usage notes
Uncountable nouns formed using this suffix, such as ɛmıɑ́ɜ (echiásj, "brotherhood") and upıcrıɑ́ɜ (kristiásj, "Christianity"), are treated as plurals and as such are formed using the plural suffix -ıɑ́ɜ (-iásj).
In the niche case that an uncountable nouns requires a plural sense, the redundant plural suffix -ıɑɜɑ́ɜ (-iasjásj) is used, such as in ɭɑppıɑ́ɜ (șjarriásj, "friendship) → ɭɑppıɑɜɑ́ɜ (șjarriasjásj, "friendships).
