    Teniendo en cuenta que la reconstrucción tradicional del sufijo *-ns del acusativo plural no temático del indoeuropeo, en tanto que combinación de la desinencia de acusativo *-m y la terminación de plural *-s, viola un universal lingüístico que estipula que «si están presentes morfemas tanto de número como de caso y ambos siguen o preceden al nombre base, el morfema que expresa el número casi siempre aparece entre el nombre base y el morfema que expresa el caso» (The Universals Archive de la Association for Linguistic Typology), este artículo indaga una posible etimología del sufijo acorde con ese universal. Específicamente, se plantea una propuesta, basada en lo que Adrados (1992) llama «la nueva imagen del indoeuropeo», en la que ambos elementos sufijales se reconstruyen como partículas deícticas originales.

    In light of the fact that the traditional reconstruction of the Indo-European non-thematic accusative plural suffix *-ns, as the combination of the accusative desinence *-m and the plural ending *-s, violates a linguistic universal which stipulates: «If morphemes of both number and case are present and both follow or both precede the noun base, then the exponent of number almost always comes between the noun base and the exponent of case» (The Universals Archive of the Association for Linguistic Typology), this article explores a possible etymology of the suffix which is consonant with that universal. Specifically, a proposal based on what Adrados 1992 calls «the new image of Indo-European» is developed in which both elements of the suffix are construed as original deictic particles.
