Abstract
An Uncommon Suffix of Turkish: +lA?
+lA? is one of the uncommon suffixes. This suffix which was firstly used in Dîvânu Lugâti’t Türk has not taken place in most parts of grammar books related to historical and modern periods. Some wrong evaluations have been made about the words derived from this suffix because of the fact that there are very few sample words and the function of the suffix has not been determined. +lA?, which is only seen in a few words in the historical and modern dialects, is a common suffix deriving a lot of words with the function of ‘similarity, likeness, dimunitive’ in the dialects of Turkish in Turkey.
