Seach for part of string and replace whole word
I am trying to find words in a text with a certain ending with sed and replace them with themselves but wrapped in tabs
ex.: The fish swims in the water. -> searching for -ms ending
The fish <tab>swims<tab>in the water.
I've been trying all sorts of commands and get either an error message (sed 's/([^])-athon/\t\1\t/g' > try1
sed: -e expression #1, char 22: unterminated `s' command) or sed does not even find my word.
Who can help?

fish - the friendly interactive shell
Synopsis
fish [-h] [-v] [-c command] [FILE [ARGUMENTS...]]
Description
A commandline shell written mainly with interactive use in mind. The full manual is available in html by using the help command from inside
fish.
o -c or --command=COMMANDS evaluate the specified commands instead of reading from the commandline
o -d or --debug-level=DEBUG_LEVEL specify the verbosity level of fish. A higher number means higher verbosity. The default level is 1.
o -h or --help display help and exit
o -i or --interactive specify that fish is to run in interactive mode
o -l or --login specify that fish is to run as a login shell
o -n or --no-execute do not execute any commands, only perform syntax checking
o -p or --profile=PROFILE_FILE when fish exits, output timing information on all executed commands to the specified file
o -v or --version display version and exit
The fish exit status is generally the exit status of the last foreground command. If fish is exiting because of a parse error, the exit
status is 127.
