Or it might be completely unrelated to any suffix.

In English, adding -er gives us "someone or something which does the
verb it is attached to", very similar to the verb suffix -wI'.

Shoot - shooter
Wash - washer

Does a brother broth?
Does another anoth?

The -wI' on words like computer and helmsman could just simply happen to
look like the suffix -wI'.
