  I agree, but I’m not a native speaker either.

      -ar is a person that does a thing. -er is a person that does action of a thing. A winkar in practice is a winker, but a winker isn’t necessarily a winkar.

      But a winkee is definitely someone subjected to a wink, whether by a winkar or a just a normal person winking.
