Usage notes
This is used in newer adaptations of English loanwords ending in en -ition in an effort to make the ending of such words uniform with its Dutch-derived counterparts in Indonesian. Previously, the suffix in words of this kind were adapted as ms -isyen (e.g. as in ms petisyen petisyen for en petition petition).
