    Etymology

    [edit]

    From multiple sources, including extraction from words derived with -o from verb stems ending in -i, as well as from earlier and still dialectal -i(j)o, from -ja-i (for labial ai > o, compare plural forms of kala-type nouns), from -ja + -i; in place names, the former component may also derive from an old place name suffix (Proto-Finnic *-ja). Denominal use may in many cases be transferred from the deverbal suffix.[1]

    Suffix

    [edit]

    -io (front vowel harmony variant -iö, linguistic notation -iO)

    1. Forms nouns from verbs or verbal stems.
      ‎itää (“to sprout”) + ‎-io → ‎itiö (“spore (of e.g. mushroom, moss)”)
      ‎valita (“to choose”) + ‎-io → ‎valio (“elite, select”)
    2. Forms nouns from other nouns, adjectives, numbers or their stems.
      ‎yksi (“one”) + ‎-io → ‎yksiö (“a one-room apartment”)
      ‎kolme (“three”) + ‎-io → ‎kolmio (“a triangle; a yield sign”)
      ‎neljä (“four”) + ‎-io → ‎neliö (“a square”); shorter form for a square meter

    [edit]

    Etymology

    [edit]

    Borrowed from English -ia, French -ie, Italian -ia, Russian -ия (-ija), Spanish -ia, ultimately from Latin -ia, from Ancient Greek -ία (-ía).

    Suffix

    [edit]

    -io

    1. suffix denoting the country, region, domain, territory or province dependent upon the authority of a person
      ‎duko (“duke; duchess”) + ‎-io → ‎dukio (“duchy”)
      ‎episkopo (“bishop”) + ‎-io → ‎episkopio (“bishopric, diocese, episcopate”)
      ‎paroko (“parish priest, rector”) + ‎-io → ‎parokio (“parish”)
      ‎rejo (“sovereign, ruler, king, queen, monarch”) + ‎-io → ‎rejio (“kingdom”)

    Usage notes

    [edit]

    A common but false misconception is that countries that end with -ia in Ido, for example Albania, use this suffix when in fact it's part of the root itself. Though, -io at times can help shape country names to fit; Mexikia uses the extra i so not to be confused with Mexiko (“Mexico City”) at the same time resembling other country names.

                      [edit]

                      1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
                      2The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested.

                      [edit]

                        Disputed. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *-jō, from Proto-Indo-European *-yéti (first person singular: *-yóh₂). Linguists such as Michael Weiss prefer to connect this class with the PIE thematic ye-suffix, explaining the split between third conjugation iō-verbs and the fourth conjugation as the result of a series of phonological developments.[2] De Vaan and Schrijver, however, connect the suffix with the athematic ablauting i-present type *-éyti.[3][4]

                        1. (unproductive) ending of some third conjugation verbs
                        Usage notes
                        [edit]
                        • Not a productive or meaningful suffix in historical Latin: rather, a frozen relic of the Proto-Indo-European suffix. Seen in small number of third-conjugation base verbs, as well as their prefixed derivatives. These verbs differ from other third-conjugation verbs by using the vowel -i- before the usual endings of the present, future, imperfect active and passive (see -ō): compare faciō, faciam, faciēbam, etc. (with -i-) to dīcō, dīcam, dīcēbam, etc. (without -i-). In contrast, this -i- does not regularly appear in the perfect stem and supine stem: instead, as usual for Latin third-conjugation verbs, these stems have semi-unpredictable formation patterns that depend on the specific verb (and can be found in the third and fourth principal part, provided these exist). E.g. capiō has the perfect stem cēp-, found in cēpī, whereas rapiō has the perfect stem rapu-, found in rapuī.

                        1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to"). It is also attested as having a rare sigmatic future passive indicative form ("will have been"), which is not attested in the plural for any verb.

                        [edit]

                          Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *-yéti (denominative suffix). The question of how it came to be differentiated from third-conjugation -iō, -ere still debated. Vine 2012 derives denominatives such as serviō from *serw-e-yé/ó- (with the thematic vowel *-e- before the suffix), proposing that unaccented Proto-Indo-European *-e- came to be assimilated in Italic to an immediately following *-y-.[5] Alternative explanations include an Italic version of Sievers's law (that is, a prosodically conditioned development of postconsonantal *-y-* to *-iy- in certain contexts) or combination of the suffix with stems ending in *-i-. Some verbs may be derived from backformation from adjectives ending in -ītus, such as igniō, whose finite forms are attested later than ignītus (“fiery, glowing”).[6]
