Alternative forms

Reconstruction notes
The roundedness of this suffix are preserved by Old Anatolian Turkish, but in other languages have instead unrounded to *-ir. Also in Turkish and Tatar, this suffix merged with the so-called "aorist" suffix *-er to form an unpredictable choice on simple present suffixes (i.e. Turkish bilir, olur, but eder).

Usage notes
- Unlike the *-tur, it is not a productive suffix in modern Turkic languages. So, if it does not exists, you can not product a new verb with *-Ur, but you can with *tUr.
- If the verb has this suffix once, then the second time it takes the -t form.
- *kečür- (“to pass someone or something”) + *-ür → *kečürt- (“to cause to pass someone or something”)
- The third time it takes this suffix, it takes the form -tUr.
- *kečürt- (“to cause to pass someone or something”) + *-ür → *kečürttür- (“to cause to cause to pass someone or something”)
- And if it is asked to take more, it takes the forms -t and -tUr respectively.
- *kečürttür- (“to cause to cause to pass someone or something”) + *-ür → *kečürttürt- (“to cause to cause to cause someone or something”) (Today, Turkic languages do not go that far, but it becomes a grammatically correct verb.)
