Need for a separate Bulgarian entry?[edit]

As of today, there is a Bulgarian entry for the suffix -ло (-lo), which is the direct descendant of Proto-Slavic *-dlo. Do we still need separate entries for variants -ало (-alo), -ело (-elo) and -ило (-ilo)?

Thanks,

@Chernorizets Indeed, it looks kind of dubious, because the suffix is really just -ло either way, with the only thing differing being the thematic vowel in each case. One reason to keep it may be because it may be easier to surface-analyse modern terms using these suffixes, but it is doubtful if they're truly unique or distinct.
