Creation and Usage Notes

In case you're wondering, I did initially think that these suffixes would come from the same source. The idea occurred to me as I was thinking of Middle Egyptian, where the plural form of an adjective (e.g. 𓄤 nfr "perfect") can be used as a singular abstract noun (e.g. 𓄤𓄤𓄤 nfrw "perfection"). It made sense to me at the time and I didn't question it. -David J. Peterson 00:10, 29 January 2021 (PST)
