Esperanto
Etymology
The Esperanto suffixes eo -as, eo -is, eo -os, eo -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)

Etymology
From fi urj-fin-pro *-os. Equivalent to fi -o -s nominal, or re-extracted from verbs with stems ending in o.
Pronunciation
Suffix
noun ös
Forms nouns denoting the result of the action of a verb.
fi liittää to join liitos joining, joint
fi muuntaa to change, convert muunnos conversion
Usage notes
Roots with the neutral front vowels fi -e-, fi -i- take the back-vocalic allomorph fi -os (e.g. fi pettää to deceive, to betray → fi petos betrayal, fraud, fi piirtää to draw → fi piirros drawing). The form fi -ös is only used when the first syllable of the root contains what is considered a front vowel under harmony, i.e. -ä-, -ö- or -y- (e.g. fi kääntää to turn; to translate → fi käännös turn; translation, fi kytkeä to connect → fi kytkös connection, fi näyttää to show → fi näytös act).
