This is especially notable of those descended from actual Latin words in -aticus such as fromage and voyage. ==== Descendants ==== → Albanian: -azh → Czech: -áž → Dutch: -age→ Indonesian: -ase → German: -age → Portuguese: -agem → Romanian: -aj → Slovak: -áž ==== See also ==== == German == === Alternative forms === -asche (obsolete or nonstandard) === Etymology === Borrowed from French -age m.
