"-el" meaning in Turkish

See -el in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Suffix

IPA: /ɛl/
Etymology: A variation of -il (“derives deverbals and denominals”), from Proto-Turkic *-il or Proto-Turkic *-gil. Both variants are likely merged with homophonic -il (“derives adjectives for onomatopoeia and colors”). See şırıltı (“onomatopoeia for flowing water”), kızıl (“red”) and yeşil (“green”). For words from using the same suffix, see güzel (“beautiful”), tombul (“chubby”), tükel (“complete, perfect”), kutsal (“holy, sacred”), çatal (“fork”) and çakıl (“gravel”). Perhaps influenced by French -al, whence -sel as in göksel or işitsel but not kutsal.
