1) Is there some study about the origin of Greek suffix -o:tis, in Pelasgiotis, Hestiaiotis, Phthiotis?

2) -O(:)pes was a common suffix in Ethnonyms and Eponyms: Pelops, Dryops, Kekrops, Kerkops. I guess it would mean "man, people". Kekrops could mean "snake-man", with Kekr- compared to Kykhr- in Kykhreus. Is there any Caucasian or Semitic or Hattic word similar to -ops ?
