Etymology

-ua (passive suffix) +‎ -tua. Verbs such as sekau(d)a ~ sekauta can be found in some dialects.[1] Traditionally an eastern dialectal form, while western dialects preferred -Vntua. The denominal suffix may be partially from -uus, -us (suffix forming nouns from adjectives, stem -(u)ut(e)) + -ua, but is likely just transferred from the deverbal suffix.

Suffix

-utua (front vowel harmony variant -ytyä, stem -utu-, linguistic notation -UtU- or -UtUA)

(deverbative) Forms reflexive or translative intransitive verbs.
(denominal) Forms translative verbs from adjectives.

Usage notes
