Which origin do the Italian suffix '-accio' and the Raeto-Romance '-atsch'?



Hello,

Could you help me with that question? I did not find a good candidate for the origin in Latin. Durich Chiampell used '-atium' he seemed to have invented himself to make Latin versions of Raetic topographic names. I would rather use '*-acium' or similar. He explaned the suffix as meaning that something is very big. Italian '-accio' is pejorative.

In Langobardic Latin, which I like much, I found a suffix '-aci',  used in names of people. It can't mean something very mean because the call themselves by the suffixed Names. At one passage there is somebody called 'Thomaciolo' (an ablative, I think). That looks like he got another suffix after '-aci'. 

I am sorry for asking such things all the time. It is just so hard to find out that myself. I always think long and look elsewere, before I make a post.

Thank you for reading that and I am hoping for a good anwer.

Bye
