Here is another example from Hebrew, I have just met with today. From the Hebrew root כבה KBH, 'extinguish', we have the "lexeme" (or googleme) כבאי KABA-IY, 'firefighter'. As I see it, the ending -IY of KABA-IY is the "smoothed" personal pronoun, or identity marker, היא HIY referring to the person performing the act KABAH, and corresponding to the ending -er in the English word firefight-er. The corresponding feminine form כבאית KABA-IY-T, with the additional marker את AT, is, of course, not listed separately. But, there is another כבאית KABA-IY-T in which the -IY-T ending refers, not a firefighteress, but rather to an engine מכונית MKON-IYT.
