§ 99. Nouns of Quality in -Vw^ {-tHiwi) 



There can be little doubt that the vocalic elements of this suffix are 

 identical with the nominalizing suffix discussed in § 97. The etymol- 

 ogy of the initial consonantic element is obscure. This suffix is added 

 to adjectives and adverbs only. Owing to the fact that a number of 

 adjectives end in -t (see § 104) and that double consonants are invariably 

 simplified, these adjectives drop their final consonant before adding 

 the suffix (see § 15).
