Proto-Finnic
editEtymology 1
editOriginally a variant of *-tadak when attached to vowel stems and landing on an odd syllable, while *-tadak would have been on even syllables or when attached to consonant stems; this is a regular process (see Proto-Finnic language § Consonant gradation on Wikipedia).
Suffix
edit*-t'ak / *-t'äk (stem *-da- / *-dä-)
- Forms verbs from nominal stems, generally with a causative, factitive or instrumental meaning.

editEtymology 2
editA later development from etymology 1 by analogy with causative derivatives using *-ttadak, thus analogously making the shorter suffix anticausative.[1]
Suffix
edit*-t'ak / *-t'äk (stem *-da- / *-dä-)
- Forms verbs from stems, generally with a translative or reflexive meaning.
Reconstruction notes
editHakulinen (1979) distinguishes between *-da- stems and *-de- stems (the latter of which would include *halgët'ak and *katkët'ak),[2] after Rapola (1922).[3] However, YSuS reconstructs both verbs with *-da-, so reconstructing this distinction already in Proto-Finnic appears to be considered obsolete (if it ever existed, it would instead be later secondary development).

edit- Finnish: -ta (somewhat conflated with etymology 1)
Etymology 3
editFrom Proto-Uralic *-me-.
The change *m > *n is likely by analogy with the passive and participle stems, as well as the causative *-ntadak, where the added *-t- incurred a regular *mt > *nt. This change was then generalized to other forms.
The consonant stem, i.e. the stem when followed by a *t (such as in the passive and infinitive forms) or *k (in the imperative forms), has been reformed to *-d- (*-t'-, *-tk-), due to confusion with verbs using the suffix *-nte-[4] (*-t'ak (reflexive) added to -n- stems). The first infinitive form would have, with this ending, become *-nt(e)-dak > *-nt'ak > *-t'ak (with simplification of the then phonotactically impossible cluster *nt': compare *kattadak < *kanci).
Like *-ldak and the comparative ending *-mpi (which see for more), this verb consistently induces a stem vowel change *-A- > *-e-.
Suffix

Etymology 4
editFrom Proto-Finno-Permic *-te-. Cognate with Proto-Samic *-tëtēk (in e.g. Northern Sami geassádit).
Suffix
edit*-t'ak / *-t'äk (stem *-dë- / *-de-)
- Forms reflexive verbs.
Usage notes
editThis suffix *-te- > *-de- is often reduced to simply -i- in descendants. This is regular (compare, for instance, the genitive plural ending *-den becoming -in in Finnish, like in *kaladën > kalain, now dialectal).
