"-nka" meaning in Proto-Japonic

See -nka in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Particle

Etymology: According to one theory, possibly from an otherwise-unattested emphatic particle *ka, with the nasal from compounding with the genitive forms of pronouns such as *wana ka (“my”) > *wanka, which was resegmented as *wa-nka. However, there is a lack of evidence for such an emphatic particle. The closest match in various modern references is an emphasizing prefix か (ka-) that attaches to certain adverbs from the 800s, and to certain adjectives from the early 1000s.
