-- gathers many of the root into one organised whole. gives , a forest; gives , a dictionary; gives , humankind; gives , a staircase; gives , a train. The result is a singular noun in -o, and that singular is the point.
Do not confuse it with the plural -j. is several trees standing about; is a forest, a single thing with a shape of its own. Its opposite number is -er-, which cuts a mass down to one grain. also lives alone, meaning a group or flock, and takes after it. Watch the false friends: , , and hide no suffix.
