suffix noun masculine a-stem forms instrument nouns such as tools From earlier Proto-Germanic *-illaz, from pre-Germanic *-i-tló-s, a masculine thematic derivative of the Proto-Indo-European instrument suffix *-tlo-, originally added to the stem of ye-presents (with the *-i-being the residue of the ye-present suffix). In PGmc, *-tl-became *-dl-due to Verner’s Law and the *-d-was then assimilated, giving *-ll-; this geminate was later shortened in the unstressed suffix, giving productive *-ilaz Kroonen 2017 Olsen 1988: 19–24.
