The "-ar" Ending in Inglish
The -ar suffix is used in both adjectives and nouns, though its application varies depending on the word's etymology.
In adjectives, it is often found in words that can take the -ety suffix, suggesting a Latin origin.
In nouns, the -ar ending typically originates from Germanic or Middle Eastern languages.
1. Adjectives with "-ar":
Adjectives that end in -ar often derive from Latin and can form nouns by adding the -ity suffix.
Examples:
regula, regularis [Latin]
regular, regularity [Modern English]
reg̃ular, reg̃ulârety [Inglish]
particula, particularis [Latin]
particular, particularity [Modern English]
partic̃ular, partic̃ulârety [Inglish]
familia, familiaris [Latin]
familiar, familiarity [Modern English]
familhar, familhârety [Inglish]
These adjectives maintain the -ar ending in Inglish, preserving their Latin roots while allowing for consistency in their noun forms.
2. Nouns with "-ar":
Nouns ending in -ar are typically of Germanic or Middle Eastern origin. In Inglish, these nouns retain their -ar ending, reflecting their etymological roots.
Examples:
summer → somar
winter → wintar
sugar → s̃ugar
weather → weþar
This change creates a distinct spelling pattern for these nouns, while maintaining their original sound and form.
