Could you elaborate on the semantic assessment? If it is the suffix of
Italian bergamasco "from Bergamo", I find it hard to see that the
adjective is any higher or more elevated than the base-word
itself.

Could anyone tell us if Bask has a suffix of geographical of ethnic
belonging containing /-sk-/? If so, could we have a few clear examples?
