The origin and spread of Mizo gender suffixes *-a and *-i on personal
names
This study presents a diachronic puzzle of the gender suffixes’ origin in Mizo personal names, -a for male and -i for female. It also provides a plausible sociolinguistic explanation for the fast spread of its use by the whole population, that is, the use of these gender suffixes was expedited as a result of the adoption by the well respected missionaries.
