Suffix

IPA: /ˈsɐ̃w̃/ [Brazil], [ˈsɐ̃ʊ̯̃] [Brazil], /ˈsɐ̃w̃/ [Portugal], /sõw/ (note: Northern Portuguese Dialects) Forms: -ções [plural]
Etymology: From Latin tiōnem, accusative of -tiō. From a Proto-Indo-European suffix -tiHō, which consists of Proto-Indo-European *-tis + *-Hō. The suffix is in many cases a semi-learned form partially borrowed from Latin to make new words, but also corresponds with the old inherited form that it was based on (as evidenced by words such as coração, canção), which could also be -zão in some cases (e.g. razão, sazão).
