Etymology
tr :inh ota:ـلر<tr:-ler, -lar> 1
tr ota ـلر, ultimately from tr trk-cmn-pro *-ler, a plural suffix which is absent from Proto-Turkic. Found as otk -lar (back variant) but not found in the sister Oghur branch (compare cv -сем, xbo ـڛَم), where it descended from trk-pro *sāyïn every. The Chuvash plural suffix, however, lacks vowel harmony unlike other suffixes.
Pronunciation
tr /leɾ/ [leɾ] [læɾ] before consonants before vowels or at end of speech
