Sinhalese Etymology From si inc-apa -, from si sa एक éka one. Cognate with hi एक. Suffix si suffix -ek Used to form the indefinite form of animate nouns. si මිනිසා → මිනිස්සෙක් minisā → minissek the man → a man si බල්ලා → බල්ලෙක් ballā → ballek the dog → a dog Usage notes This suffix is used only with animate nouns (humans, animals, deities). Inanimate nouns use the suffix si -ක් -k or si -අක් -ak instead. When attached to a noun ending in a vowel, the final vowel of the stem is often dropped or modified (e.g., si බල්ලා + si -ෙක් = si බල්ලෙක්). See also si -ක් -k (inanimate indefinite suffix) References 153
