The Esperanto suffixes-as,-is,-os,-us are related, and appear to have been inspired by previous language projects:

This play of vowels is not an original idea of Zamenhof's:-as, -is, -os are found for the three tenses of the infinitive in Faiguet's system of 1765;-a, -i, -o without a consonant are used like Z's-as, -is, -os by Rudelle (1858); Courtonne in 1885 had-am, -im, -om in the same values, and the similarity with Esperanto is here even more perfect than in the other projects, as-um corresponds to Z's-us. —An International Language (1928)

The vowel of-is is likely cognate with the Latin perfect, as inamavit "s/he had loved", and the corresponding past infinitiveamavisse.

-is

1. ending of past tense in verbs, e.g.amito love,ŝi amisshe loved.

(Thisetymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at theEtymology scriptorium.) Compare-us and-s.

-is (genitive-ise,partitive-ist)

1. Derives nouns.

   ‎petma(“to con, to trick”) + ‎-is → ‎petis(“conman, trickster, cheat, fraud”)

2. Derives forms of nouns used in compounds.

   ‎väli(“field, area”) + ‎-is → ‎välis-(“outside”)

   võidma ("to spread", "to anoint") →võidis- invõidisvaal ("sperm whale")

Probably fromSwedish-is and possibly also extracted from slang terms including that suffix.

-is(colloquial)

1. -er,-ie; a suffix used to form nouns and proper nouns from place names, common nouns and adjectives; gives a familiar nuance to the original word; the original word is often truncated in the process.
