The prolative suffix can only be appended to nouns, and usually occur only in set phrases, demonstrated in the usage examples above. Therefore, it is considered an adverbial suffix. This suffix appends to the plural stem of the word. Derived terms et Finnish Etymology As with many slang suffixes, there are probably multiple origins.
