description This article deals with the suffix -ster, as it occurs in geographical names, appellatives & adjectives in the northern part of the Dutch language area. Attention will be paid to its etymology & geographical spread, as well as to aspects of the morphology & phonology of this suffix & its derivates. It is shown how -ster, like the closely related suffix -stra which used to derive family names, resulted from the historical grammaticalization of an Old Frisian genitive plural form. Synchronically, geographical names derived with -ster appear to be interesting in several respects. -ster's morphological valency turns out to be prosodically conditioned, like in the case of the -stra suffix. Morphologically, these names, appellatives & adjectives hardly differ from 'regular' words, phonologically they do not appear to differ at all - again, just like the -stra formations. It can therefore be established that they are part of the web of words of Frisian & Dutch. Tables, Appendixes, References. Adapted from the source document
