Swahili

Etymology

Uncertain. Nurse & Hinnebusch[1] mention that correspondences of this suffix within the Sabaki languages are not regular. The original causative suffix was -ya, which causes spirantization and often results in causatives ending in -za. It seems this was then generalized, with insertion of “the vowel in extensions in general, namely /-i-, -e-/”.

Suffix

-iza (mid vowel harmony variant -eza)

  1. (nonproductive) suffix used to construct a causative verb with slightly different meaning
    Near-synonyms: -ya, -isha/-esha
    ‎-lipa (“to pay”) + ‎-iza → ‎-lipiza (“to settle an account”)
    ‎-penda (“to love”) + ‎-eza → ‎-pendeza (“to be pleasing”)

Derived terms

  • Swahili causative verbs
