THE SUFFIX "-UJ-".

181. The suffix "-uj-" may be used to form words indicating "that which

contains, bears, or is a receptacle for", some number or quantity of

that which is expressed by the root. It may be used instead of "-lando"

to form the name of a region containing any one race or tribe, and

instead of "-arbo" to form the names of fruit trees:

ujo = a receptacle. patrujo (patrolando) = fatherland.

monujo = purse. sukerujo = sugar-bowl.

supujo = soup-tureen. pomujo (pomarbo) = apple-tree.

leterujo = letter-case. sagujo = quiver.
