What does the suffix ber mean?

The suffix "-ber" in English words typically comes from the Old English suffix "-ber" or "-byr" which means "bearer" or "carrier".

Here are some examples:

* "Wine-ber-y": A place where wine is carried/stored.

* "Salt-ber-y": A place where salt is carried/stored.

* "Silver-ber-y": A place where silver is carried/stored.

However, "-ber" can also be part of other words, like:

* "September," "October," "November," and "December": These months were originally named for their numerical position in the Roman calendar (septem = seven, octo = eight, novem = nine, decem = ten).

It's important to note that the meaning of "-ber" has evolved over time and some words may have different origins.
