Reconstruction
Many descendants point to *-(t)tut. The final *-t has usually been considered to be by analogy with the active participle ending *-nut.[1] However some Ostrobothnian dialects have participle forms such as otettuen. If from earlier *otettuden, this could be evidence for *-(t)tut being the original form.[2] It could then be akin to the end of *-nut (and possibly be the same as the adjectival suffix *-ut)
Suffix
