Etymology

Compared to Proto-Mongolic *-ulca (“cooperative suffix”), *-uldu (“reciprocative suffix”),[1] Mongolian -лд (-ld), -лс (-ls).[2]

According to Talât Tekin, a cognate of Proto-Mongolic *-lca: Proto-Turkic *karïĺč- (“to mix together”), Proto-Mongolic *karilca- (“to be related or connected to each other”); Proto-Turkic *koĺïĺč- (“to add together”), Proto-Mongolic *kolilca-.[3] (See Turkish karışmak and Azerbaijani qoşmaq) But EDAL doesn't think that *karïĺč- and *qarilca- are related. It has a different etymology in the database.[4] The verb qolilča- mentioned by Tekin should be Mongolian холилдох (xolildox) (<*kolildu-) because the mentioned word is not found in Mongolic languages.

Suffix
