You raise a question similar something I was wondering about: -al in Spanish, a "collective" as in pinal "pine grove, etc." -ar does alternate with -ar but they or may not have a common origin. I was wondering if the Etruscan "genitive" -al, -alis has anything to do with either of our concerns.

There's a single origin for these Latin suffixes or there's not?
facilis, docilis, utilis
ductilis, reptilis, fusilis, fertilis, prehensilis, pensilis
agilis, habilis, gracilis, fragilis
timibilis, terribilis, edibilis, flebilis, stabilis, nobilis, mobilis (<*dHli- or *bel-i ?)

PIE origin? IE cognates?
