Etymology
A fusion of Medieval Greek -ος (-os) and -ας (as), with the loss of final -s during the early stages and the raising of o > a in most dialects, ultimately inherited from Proto-Indo-European *-os and cognate with Latin -us, Icelandic -ur and Italian -o.
Suffix
-a
- Used to form first declension nouns, declined like "gnudzsa".
- Used to form agent nouns on certain weak verbs
- darao (To perform an action, intervene) > darata (Action, combat)
