Finnish
Etymology
From multiple sources, including extraction from words derived with fi -o from verb stems ending in -i, as well as from earlier and still dialectal -i(j)o, from -ja-i (for labial ai > o, compare plural forms of fi kala-type nouns), from fi -ja + fi -i nominal; in place names, the former component may also derive from an old place name suffix (urj-fin-pro *-ja place). Denominal use may in many cases be transferred from the deverbal suffix.
Suffix
noun iö
Forms nouns from verbs or verbal stems.
fi itää to sprout -iö itiö spore (of e.g. mushroom, moss)
fi valita to choose valio elite, select

Etymology
Borrowed from io en -ia, io fr -ie, io it -ia, io ru -ия, io es -ia, ultimately from io la -ia, from io grc -ία.
Suffix
n
suffix denoting the country, region, domain, territory or province dependent upon the authority of a person
io duko duke; duchess dukio duchy
io episkopo bishop episkopio bishopric, diocese, episcopate
io paroko parish priest, rector parokio parish
io rejo sovereign, ruler, king, queen, monarch rejio kingdom
Usage notes
A common but false misconception is that countries that end with -ia in Ido, for example io Albania, use this suffix when in fact it's part of the root itself. Though, -io at times can help shape country names to fit; io Mexikia uses the extra i so not to be confused with io Mexiko Mexico City at the same time resembling other country names.

Etymology 4
la third conjugation
la Disputed. Perhaps from la itc-pro *-jō, from la ine-pro *-yéti (first person singular: *-yóh₂). Linguists such as Michael Weiss prefer to connect this class with the PIE thematic ye-suffix, explaining the split between third conjugation la iō-verbs and the fourth conjugation as the result of a series of phonological developments.144 De Vaan and Schrijver, however, connect the suffix with the athematic ablauting i-present type ine-pro *-éyti.41126
Alternative forms
la -ō<id:third conjugation>
Suffix
3.suffix.sigmpasv -iō -t
la unproductive ending of some third conjugation verbs
Usage notes
Not a productive or meaningful suffix in historical Latin: rather, a frozen relic of the Proto-Indo-European suffix. Seen in small number of third-conjugation base verbs, as well as their prefixed derivatives. These verbs differ from other third-conjugation verbs by using the vowel la -i- before the usual endings of the present, future, imperfect active and passive (see la -ō third conjugation): compare la facio faciō, faciam, faciēbam, etc. (with la -i-) to la dico dīcō, dīcam, dīcēbam, etc. (without la -i-). In contrast, this la -i- does not regularly appear in the perfect stem and supine stem: instead, as usual for Latin third-conjugation verbs, these stems have semi-unpredictable formation patterns that depend on the specific verb (and can be found in the third and fourth principal part, provided these exist). E.g. la capiō has the perfect stem la cēp-, found in la cēpī, whereas la rapiō has the perfect stem la rapu-, found in la rapuī.

Etymology 5
la -iō fourth conjugation :der ine-pro:*-yéti
Ultimately from la ine-pro *-yéti denominative suffix. The question of how it came to be differentiated from third-conjugation la -iō, la -ere still debated. Vine 2012 derives denominatives such as la serviō from ine-pro *serw-e-yé/ó- (with the thematic vowel la *-e- before the suffix), proposing that unaccented Proto-Indo-European ine-pro *-e- came to be assimilated in Italic to an immediately following la *-y-. Alternative explanations include an Italic version of Sievers's law (that is, a prosodically conditioned development of postconsonantal la *-y-* to la *-iy- in certain contexts) or combination of the suffix with stems ending in la *-i-. Some verbs may be derived from backformation from adjectives ending in la -ītus, such as la igniō, whose finite forms are attested later than la ignītus fiery, glowing.ignis 308
