Talk:-eur

how'd it go feminine?
do we know when and why French -eur "ness" switched from masculine to feminine ? — Soap — 22:13, 31 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I read somewhere that it was the influence of similar-sounding . It alone does not convince me, but I'd add that other suffixes for abstract nouns like and  are also feminine. This general analogy could have done it. (Maybe there's something else I'm not aware of). 82.82.152.162 14:50, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
