Suffix

IPA: [(j)iː] [Classical-Persian], [(j)iː] [Dari, formal], [(j)iː] [Dari, formal], [(j)iː] [Kabuli], [(j)i] (note: Hazaragi), [(j)iː] [Iran, formal], [(j)i] [Tajik, formal]
Etymology: From Middle Persian -yk' / 𐭩𐭪𐭩 (yky /⁠-īg⁠/), from Proto-Iranian *-akah, from Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂kos, from a-stem suffix *-eh₂ + adjectival suffix *-kos. There is no evidence to support a relation with the Arabic ـِيّ (-iyy) which however does merge with this suffix. See ـه (-e) for another instance where the 'g' phoneme is removed from the end of the Middle Persian suffix in its New Persian form.
