I don't agree with your reasoning here. It *is* an operation that returns the suffix (the end of the sequence) but starting from an index. The fact that indices index from the start of the array and that the function will return an array of a different length depending on the argument does not make the result of the operation less of a suffix. It is still returning the end of the array.
