"-ut" meaning in Proto-Finnic

See -ut in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Suffix

Etymology: Originally an adjectival suffix, from earlier *-wta, roughly equivalent to *-u + *-(e)ta. Later turned into a consonant stem, as the final *a was lost (like in *-in) and the affix became an e-stem in most descendants by analogy with other consonant stems: an earlier *-ute would have regularly gone through *-ute > *-uti > *-uci > *-uc. The original vowel is further shown in e.g. Estonian lühida, dialectal Finnish lyhvä, lyhyvä, lyhyä and inflection in Veps. Usage as a diminutive suffix is more recent.
