Ingrian

Etymology 1

Suppletive:

• In most forms, from Proto-Finnic *-t'ak (*-de-) (reflexive verb suffix).
• Forms containing -s- (except in the past tense) are analogically leveled from the past tense.
• The third-person singular endings derive from the paradigm of -ita.

The lengthening of the initial -i- in many verbs is a generalisation of the verbs whose stem originally ended in -i.

Pronunciation

• (Ala-Laukaa) IPA^(key): /-isːɑ/, [-is̠ː]
• (Soikkola) IPA^(key): /-isːɑ/, [-iʃːɑ]

Suffix

-issa (front vowel variant -issä)

2. Forms reflexive verbs.

   ‎näyttää (“to show”) + ‎-issa → ‎näyttiissä (“to appear”)
