Danish Suffix indicates the sharp of a note; mul ♯ Antonyms da -es Esperanto Etymology The Esperanto suffixes -as, -is, -os, -us are related, and appear to have been inspired by previous language projects: This play of vowels is not an original idea of Zamenhof's: -as, -is, -os are found for the three tenses of the infinitive in Faiguet's system of 1765; -a, -i, -o without a consonant are used like Z's -as, -is, -os by Rudelle (1858); Courtonne in 1885 had -am, -im, -om in the same values, and the similarity with Esperanto is here even more perfect than in the other projects, as -um corresponds to Z's -us. —An International Language (1928) The vowel of -is is likely cognate with the Latin perfect, as in amavit "s/he had loved", and the corresponding past infinitive amavisse. Suffix eo suffix inflectional suffixes ending of past tense in verbs, e.g. ami to love, ŝi amis she loved. Further reading 1 Estonian Etymology et Compare et -us and et -s.
