Examples
.
The children ate ice cream in the park.
.
During the warm summer we always buy ice cream.
.
Her favourite ice cream is made of chocolate.
A clean derivation and a good advertisement for the suffix system.
is ice; -- makes a concrete thing out of a substance or a
quality; is therefore "a thing made of ice", which the world
settled on as ice cream. The same suffix gives you o from ,
from and o from , so learning one of these
teaches you the shape of hundreds.
