-gaz 'with' comitative suffix found in the Bizkaian dialect in the west /Basque

"Interestingly, the Bizkaian dialect in the west has the quite different comitative suffix <-gaz>, which behaves in an anomalous way among case-suffixes and looks very much like a formerly independent element which has been abruptly glued onto a preceding noun phrase with no case-marking. The origin of this is unknown, but it seems to contain the suffix <-z> (phonetic [-s]). This thing is today the ordinary instrumental suffix in all varieties, but, in early Basque, it appears in a variety of forms in which it arguably has a comitative function. Some of us therefore suspect -- but cannot demonstrate -- that this <-z> was once the ordinary comitative suffix, but that it has become specialized as an instrumental with the rise of the new comitative formations."
