-avo (non-lemma form of verb-forming suffix)

1. used with a stem to form the first-person singular imperfect of regular -are verbs

• ova

From earlier *-ado, from Proto-Finnic *-o (whence also Finnish -o ) plus the inflectional stem of verbs ending in *-at'ak . Cognates include Finnish -uu .

-avo (front vowel harmony variant -ävö )

1. Forms abstract nouns from verbs in -ata.

-avo m (plural -avos )

1. forms fractionals

   ‎doze ("twelve") + ‎-avo → ‎dozeavo ("one twelfth")

-avo (adjective-forming suffix, feminine -ava , masculine plural -avos , feminine plural -avas )
-avo m (noun-forming suffix, plural -avos )

1. added to a cardinal number to signify one portion of a whole divided into that number of pieces; forms both nouns and adjectives

   ‎doce ("twelve") + ‎-avo → ‎doceavo ("one twelfth (e.g. of a cake)")

• Only used for numbers greater than 10. Less common for numbers 1000 and above (use the vigésimo ordinal form which is also signifies portions). If the cardinal number ends in -a , do not add another one (cuarentavo instead of !cuarentaavo). The conversion of cien is irregular (centavo ).
