This hits the essense of the problem of all these very similar proposals. (Note that at least one similar proposal predates AI by at least a decade).
This is therefore both a question here, and an open question to all other proposers.
Let's just take the following list:

-y = singular (43×)
-n = plural - 100% always final!
-iin = genitive plural (19×)
-ain = dative/for purpose (12×)
-ol = diminutive/small
-dy = dried state
-ar = locative (in / at / from
Question 1: on what are these choices based? Specifically: what if I suggested that '-aiin' should be diminutive and '-ar' should be large... How can one decide which is better? (Of course, the possible variations are enormous).
Question 2: how sure are you of these choices? Could the alternatives actually be equally likely?
An important aspect of the first question is: were these choices made by you or by the LLM?
