-into (Suffix) Fossilized suffix from Ancient Greek -ινθος (-int^hos), found in a number of loanwords from the Pre-Greek language (contrast a loanword with the suffix: Ancient Greek λαβύρινθος (labyrint^hos) "labyrinth;" and without: Lydian labrys "axe"). From Pre-Greek *-ind^h-, some sort of suffix fixed to nouns to make new nouns. Recently, Kroonen (2012) has convincingly demonstrated cognate fossils in Germanic, Albanian, Armenian, and Celtic.
