     A highly characteristic subtype of the general case just mentioned (athematic base plus complex thematic suffix) appears in so-called “deinstrumental” adjectival formations: thus astū ‘cleverly’ (u-stem instr. sg. *-u-h₁, i.e. ‘with cleverness’) → astūtus ‘clever’, similarly -ītus adjectives based on i-stem instr. sg. *-i-h₁ (aurītus ‘having ears’, cf. auris ‘ear’), -ōtus adjectives based on o-stem instr. sg. *-o-h₁ (aegrōtus ‘sick’, cf. aegrum ‘distress’); likewise, with instr. sg. plus *-no-, adjectival suffix conglomerates -īnus, -ūnus, -ōnus etc. (cf. Weiss 2011: 290, 293, and further 7.3.1.3 on futūrus).
