-ekin
{accompaniment `with')} /BasqueBasque
-ekin is the case suffix which defines the comitative marker in most varieties of Basque. It has the following origin: it is a reduced form of a full postpositional phrase
*<-e kide-n> or *<-en -kide-a-n> 'in the company of', where
(a) <-e> is an old genitive suffix
c.f Hungarian genitive suffix <-é>
(b) the stem <-kide> is an element which in the modern language chiefly functions as a noun- forming suffix meaning 'fellow', 'mate', 'companion',
c.f. Hungarian ketten 'the two of us' < két 'two', kettő 'two, a couple of'
(c) and the final element is the ordinary locative case-suffix <-n> 'in, on, at'.
c.f. Hungarian locative suffixes -on, -en, -ön, -n 'in, on'
So the whole thing is genitive <-e> or <-en> 'of' + <-kide>, apparently here in the sense of 'company', + locative <-n> 'in'. The ordinary article <-a> 'the' may or may not have been present after <-kide> in the original formation. [lt3]

Perhaps the ancients had a similar concept or notion of "completeness" - just speculation.

-gaz
comitative suffix found in the Bizkaian dialect in the west /BasqueBasque
"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."

-ni genitive case (front verb vowel stem)
An extinct language, related to Manchu. It was spoken by the Nuzhen people [source]
Dravidian/Brahui [sva]
The genitive singular is formed by adding the termination -nâ to the singular stem of the substantive: lumma - lummanâ (mother).
The genitive plural is formed by adding the termination -â to the plural stem of the substantive, which is obtained by changing the plural suffix -k into -t: lumma - lummaghâk - lummaghâtâ.
Etruscan [lb]

-i genitive suffix

-i genitive suffix /Latin

Slavic [sgt]
-a genitive singular /Russian
-u the so-called `second genitive' suffix /Russian
The two suffixes are functionally distinguished: the `second genitive' is a partitive, and the original genitive is used for other typically genitive functions (possessive, etc.). So, for instance, čaška čaj-u `cup of tea' (lit. `cup tea-PARTITIVE') is contrasted with cena čaj-a `price of tea' (lit. `price tea-GEN').
Indo-Iranian/Iranian
-(y)e is used in the possessive construction (ezafe) /Persian [ucla, km]
For example, ketab-(y)e "book of"
This morpheme is usually an unwritten vowel, but it could also have an orthographic realization in certain phonological environments. The role of the ezafe is to mark nominal determination and it indicates nothing as to the nature of the semantic relation between the linked elements. In most cases, this relation can be translated as a genitive (or possessive) structure. [km]
Sino-Tibetan/Tamangic
Nar-Phu [mn]
-(y)e, -i genitive
-nê independent genitive
The Nar-Phu language is a member of the Tamangic group [along with Chantyal, Gurung, Manangba, Tamang, and Thakali]. There are a number of phonological and lexical differences between the dialects of Nar and Phu.
Nar-Phu is overwhelmingly suffixing and agglutinative. The only prefix is negative a- : a-câ-w ‘don’t eat it!’.
Andamanese/South [nb]
-a genitive suffix /Onge
The Andamanese language family is spoken by the indigenous population on the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Today only three tribes remain - the Onge, the Jarawa and the Sentinelese together numbering only a few hundred individuals.
