     Unhaltbar ist die morphologische Analyse bei Schulze 435 f.: idg. Suffix -ios bei e/o-Nomina sowohl mit als ohne Stammauslaut, daher einerseits -e-ijos gr. -ειος lat. -eius, andrerseits gr. -ιος lat. -ius. […] Unhaltbar über lat. -eius gleich griech. aeol. -ειος Solta 8⁷.

     The morphological analysis in Schulze 435 f. is indefensible: Indo-Germanic suffix -ios with e/o-nouns both with and without stem-final vowels, hence on the one hand -e-ijos Greek -ειος Latin -eius, on the other hand Greek -ιος Latin -ius. […] Indefensible in Latin -eius like Aeolic Greek -ειος Solta 8⁷.
