Answer:

It has to do with voicing assimilation (voiced sounds vs, unvoiced sounds at the end of the word stem.) before the suffix is added.

Explanation:

Ex....

'P' is a voiced consonant (with your hand in front of your mouth, you feel a puff of air on your hand), so it's phonologically easier (more natural) to say a          '-t' sound immediately afterward.

'N,' in contrast has no puff of air, so it's a voiceless sound.
