–motu (2), suf. Aesthetic study of ~, fashion pertaining to ~, manner of ~ (N to N). Also spelled -notu following coronal consonants.

usage: Generally the preceding u is removed. The choice of n or m for the leading consonant depends on the environment; ñ is generally avoided because it is difficult to articulate at the start of a syllable in the Lilitic accent; e.g. ighnotu, not *ighñotu. A -motu is the general study of the aesthetics in some area, and does not imply any particular approach is under consideration. For that, see -iku.
