to different nouns to denote possession or the meaning "endowed with".
-ava:
kesa + ava = kesava (having much hair)
-ala:

tu.n.da + ila = tu.n.dila (having a beak, a pecker)
-ika:
da.n.da + ika = da.n.dika (having a staff in hand)
maalaa + ika = maalika (having a garland)
chatta + ika = chattika (possessing an umbrella)
ga.na + ika = ga.nika (having a large following)
-ii:
maalaa + ii = maalii (having a garland)
vamma + ii = vammii (having an armour, a warrior)

Note. The feminine forms of the nouns annexed with -ii, -vii and -ssii
are formed by adding another suffix, -inii to them.

mantii + inii = mantinii (a ministress)
medhaavii + inii = medhaavinii (a wise woman)
tapassii + inii = tapassinii (a nun)
120. To denote possession, "-vantu" and "-mantu" are suffixed to
different nouns (-vantu is suffixed to the nouns ending in a, and the
other to those ending in i and u).
gu.na + vantu = gu.navantu (virtuous)
dhana + vantu = dhanavantu (rich)
buddhi + mantu = buddhimantu (wise)
bhaanu + mantu = bhaanumantu (luminous, the sun)
aayu + mantu becomes aayasmantu through aayusmantu, but not aayumantu.
More words of this kind and their declension are given under §28 of
the First Book.
The feminine of these is formed by adding an ii at the end of the
suffix and dropping u before it.
gu.navantu + ii = gu.navantii (a virtuous woman)
satimantu + ii = satimantii (a mindful woman)
Sometimes they drop not only u but also n of the suffix.
dhana + vantu + ii = dhanavatii (a rich woman)
buddhi + mantu + ii = buddhimatii (a wise woman)
121. An additional -ii is annexed to form the feminine of the
derivatives formed with the suffixes .nava, .nika, .neyya, .na, -vantu
and -mantu.
.nava: maa.nava + ii = maa.navii (a lass)
.nika: naavika + ii = naavikii (woman sailor)
.neyya: bhaagineyya + ii = bhaagineyyii (sister's daughter)
.na: gotama + ii = gotamii (a woman of the Gotama clan)
