*-ïnč *-inč *-unč *-ünč

Etymology

The second vowel of the suffix seems to appear after the medieval era. For an unknown reason, the word *ẹk(k)inti (“second”) has an exclusive variant *-inti, however according to Erdal it may be a seperate suffix.[1]

Has been compared to Manchu ᠊ᠴᡳ (-ci). [2]

The variant form *-inči is not attested in Old Turkic, which replaced the *-inč in all environments except perhaps *ẹk(k)inč (attested as 𐽰𐽶𐽷𐽶𐽺𐾀𐽶 (ʾykynty /⁠ékinti⁠/).)
