Additionally, it seems that it was viewed as an intensifying particle for it looks not to have any specific grammatical meaning

408 The latter category has been presented by A. Zajączkowski in the original manuscript of his work on Karaim derivation published in 1932, but eventually it has been not included in its printed version (the removed fragments were critically edited in némeTH 2013a).

409 As a comparative data A. Zajączkowski quotes Tuvan, Kazan Tatar and Chagatai con-verbial forms (see némeTH 2013a: 140), cf. e.g. Chag. körgäč ‘having looked, as soon as having seen’ (BodrogligeTi 2001: 276–277), Tuv. bargaš ‘having entered’ (iScHakov &

paĺMBach 1961: 316, 318, 330–336).

410 The only case this suffix was described in another way is muSaev’s (1964: 301) attempt to explain it as a composition of -ka(n) and -čaχ, but there are no further comparative data or explanation provided.
