Abenaki
Suffix
abe suffix
A suffix used to form the plurals of some animate words.
Usage notes
Often used to form the plurals of words (especially nouns denoting people who have particular occupations or activities) which end in the consonant d or t (which causes the d or t to mutate into j: nodabônkad, "baker" → nodabônkajik, "bakers"); only rarely used to form the plurals of words ending in other letters (nodkwaag, notkwahag, "pilot" → nodkwaagik, notkwahagik, "pilots").

Hungarian
hu We seem to be missing an etym section for the intransitive (reflexive?) verb-forming suffix -ik, as documented in the Etymology section in hu -zik.
Pronunciation

Etymology 1
Adjective suffix.
Suffix
hu suffix
hu adjective hu adjective-forming suffix A unique identification suffix (often used together with the definite article hu a/az the). Used with (chiefly comparative, sometimes superlative) adjectives, answering the question hu melyik? which?, specifying one out of a specific set of things/persons.
hu más different ― hu másik (egy) másik another one ― hu a másik the other one
hu rosszabb worse → hu rosszabbik a rosszabbik the worse one
hu a kisebbik rossz(at választja) (to choose) the lesser of two evils
hu A nagyobbik szobában Péter lakik. Peter lives in the bigger room (out of a specific set of rooms).
Derived terms

Etymology 2

their ……-s third-person plural; the pronoun hu ő s/he (!) being optional for emphasis
hu kapu gate → hu kapuik a kapuik, az ő kapuik their gates
hu érme coin → hu érméik az érméik, az ő érméik their coins
hu formal y your ……-s second-person plural, grammatically resembling the third person plural
hu kapu gate → hu kapuik a kapuik your [formal, plural] gates, alternatively: hu -i possessive az önök kapui, a maguk kapui (!)
hu érme coin → hu érméik az érméik your [formal, plural] coins, alternatively: hu -i possessive az önök érméi, a maguk érméi (!)
Usage notes
Etymology 3
Personal suffix.
Suffix
hu suffix
hu lemma hu personal suffix The ending of a large group of passive/reflexive verbs in indefinite third-person singular present tense, their dictionary form.
hu Sokat utazik. S/he travels a lot.
hu definite hu personal suffix Used to form the definite third-person plural present indicative of (front-vowel) verbs.
hu -ják indicative for back-vowel verbs
hu Megnézik a filmet. They will see the movie. [from hu megnéz to look at, to see, indicating a definite object, here required by hu a the]
Usage notes
The above two senses are usually not difficult to distinguish as long as one knows whether the lemma of the verb ends in hu -ik. If it does, it is usually not a transitive verb (since most hu -ik verbs have a passive or reflexive meaning) so it will be probably an (indefinite) singular. On the other hand, if the lemma of the verb has no hu -ik, the only option is the definite plural.
hu eszik Eszik to eat is one of the few hu -ik verbs that are transitive. In such a case, one needs to rely on the definiteness of the object. For more details, see its hu eszik#Usage_notes_2 Usage notes.
