That does not mean it's a suffix per definition, but it shows that {ngan} is usually attached to the origin of people.This is very important indeed. The fact that 'oqranD chose to write {-ngan} instead of {ngan}, proves that we can freely attach it to any country/location/etc.No, it doesn't prove that. Okrand may just have used the hyphen to indicate an element of a complex noun that comes at the end. It's not automatically an indication of productivity. I happen to think you can freely attach it, provided it keeps the people of meaning, but that hyphen isn't proof.
