In Timucua the –so is a causative suffix, which means that it causes someone or something to do or be something. It goes after the verb stem.
ene means to see
mino means to come
eneso means cause to see, or to show
minoso means cause to come, or bring
toco means to come out
tocoso means to cause to come out, or to bring out
caro means to be shiny or to be bright
caroso means to cause to shine, or illuminate
Here are some examples of the –so suffix followed by other suffixes that also modify the verb.
nicalubosobola
ni-calubo-so-bo-la
1-be:punished-caus-PL-dec
He* caused us to be punished.
ano napuenosota
ano na-pueno-so-ta
person ins-come-caus-part
She* caused a person to come and…
*Note: the Timucua text does not specify the subject (who is doing the action), but to make the sentences make sense, we have inserted a subject pronoun. Timucua also does not distinguish between he and she.
Sometimes the suffix –so is spelled as –su. This happens when the preceding verb ends in the sound /u/. Here are some examples:
balusubono
balu-su-bo-no
live-caus-pl-nmlz
Causing them to live.
nayutusutecarema
na-yutu-su-te-care-ma
ins-be:provoked-caus-tns-plu-def
Things that provoke.
