Southwest Finnic denominal derivative suffixes *-As (: *-AhA-), *-k̆As and *-k̆kAsIn this article, I examine Southwest Finnic variants of the derivative suffixes *-As (: *-AhA-), *-k̆As and *-k̆kAs. The suffixes themselves are common in Finnic, but the distribution of certain words formed with the suffixes gives reason to assume a local development of the use of the suffixes. Southwest Finnic linguistic forms mentioned in the article are Courland and Salaca Livonian, and the insular and western dialects of North Estonian. The suffix *-As (: *-AhA-) has spread analogically in the Livonian lexicon and the function of the suffix in Livonian to some extent resembles that of the Latvian nominative singular suffix. The suffix *-k̆As is secondary, deriving from the merger of *-k̆A and *-As. The suffix *-k̆kAs is also secondary and derives in Southwest Finnic from the merger of the suffixes *-kkA and *-As. In total, 19 word stems with the suffixes *-As, *-k̆As and *-k̆kAs have a Southwest Finnic distribution, evidencing the innovative addition of the suffixes.
