-el, dynamic function

Suffix -el involves the vowel ‘e‘, emphasizing “embodiment” or “embody”. It combines with the suffix “-l“, which denotes a plural transitive, to express the embodiment of that plural transitive aspect. This configuration translates the suffix -el as representing a function, aim, or goal, emphasizing its function as a plural transitive. This interpretation highlights how -el serves to manifest a specific purpose or objective within the language, emphasizing its role in conveying actions or states that are goal-oriented and functionally rich. e.g., body parts, projectile/bullet as having the goal to strike a target, etc. It is found extensively in body part and body related suffixes. It indicates an appendage as a function of the body, as a person/family functionion within a tribe/band, etc. It relates to projectiles as goal-oriented functions or plural transitives such as an arrow/arrowhead, bullets, ammunition, etc.
