suffixnounfeminineō-stemforms feminine ō-stem nouns, especially concrete nouns denoting a body part, natural object, place, animal, product, or result associated with the baseFrom Proto-Indo-European *-n-eh₂, consisting of the individualizing or singulative nasal suffix *-n- plus the feminine/collective suffix *-eh₂. The formation is not securely productive in Proto-Germanic, but survives in inherited and reanalyzed lexical fossils such as *garnō < PIE *ǵʰórneh₂, *furhnō < PIE *pr̥ḱnéh₂, and probably *hraznō < PIE *krosnéh₂ and *asnō < *(s)h₁os-néh₂Krahe & Meid 1969: 103–107Pronk 2015: 338–39. Compare also *habanō, which points to a related expanded type *-(a)nō from earlier *-on-eh₂Kroonen 2013: 196–97Matasović 2009a: 197. The suffix is probably the historical base of some forms in related *-snō (forms feminine nouns denoting a tool, instrument, or concrete object associated with the base), where *-s- may reflect a stem-final consonant or word-formation juncture.
