Description Entry
This affix can both be valency preserving, and valency reducing. How do we handle that? We only have a single field, and not a list for diathesis and valency_change. V{sima}V
How does this affix behave on t-stems? V{-(c)i}V
Is this affix actually truncative? In kipisavoq and qiisavoq it clearly is, but the derived affix -saar- appears to be additive in most cases. V{sa}V
What are the origins of this affix? N{kcaq}N, N{-it}V and what? N{kcaisua}V
Not in OE, how does this stem decline? N{ccaaq}N
Can we find examples of this affix in other cases than absolutive singular? How does it decline? V{lqammiq}N
What is the origin of the second part, /sirə/? V{-qatəsirə}V
When does the resultative passive meaning arise? V{ŋqa}V
What happens to the meaning when the affix is used on state stems, like qasuvoq, qasoqqavoq? He is tired, he has become tired? V{ŋqa}V
Is this affix preserving or reducing? Fortescue (affix list, category 17) says reducing, but Nielsen has a preserving example, matuaa, matoqqavaa, but also reducing examples. V{ŋqa}V
Do we have examples of the 'spend the N' meaning mentioned in Fortescue/CED? N{-li}V
What are the components of this? N{-liqcaaq}V
Is this formed through combination of N{-liq}V with V{'-q}V? This could be the source of the /ll/, but can we find any evidence of this? The CED says nothing. N{lliq}V
Does this stem have assibilation? Can we find any examples to verify or reject this hypothesis? N{lliq}V
What are the components of this? V{-liq}V and what is then /caaq/? V{-liqcaaq}V
What is the source of this affix? And is the last vowel /i/ or /ə/? N{-iqluiq}V
Find some examples with -reernikuu- and -reersima-. V{-riiq}V
Does this have aq_drop like its nominal variant? Do we have any examples to prove/disprove it? V{(q)cuaq}V
Search for ssarâ, ssaraoĸ, rssarâ, rssaraoĸ. There are more examples on OE, and some are lexicalised words. V{(q)carə}V
How does this decline? Examples outside of ABS.sg? N{kkaaq}N
What is this affix? Is it a combination? Is the final vowel i or ə, and does it cause assibilation? V{-kkisiq}V
This affix is not in the CED, the etymology is unknown. V{-kisaq}V
How does this decline? Is it indeed up-declined? N{-kapsak}N
This affix is not found in any old-orthography dictionaries, nor in the CED. The etymology is unknown. V{kkajaaq}N
I assume the old-orthography form would be '-kajâĸ, but since I have not found any old-orthography dictionary containing it, I do not know. It would be good to see some evidence of it. V{kkajaaq}N
We have no evidence of the inflection pattern. I assume it is p-declined, but it would be good to see some actual examples. V{kkajaaq}N
how is it inflected? Any examples outside of absolutive singular? N{-kanniq}N
How does this decline? Is it indeed up-declined? N{-kasik}N
Add reference to V{-kulooq}V, when we add that. N{-kuluuq}N
The initial consonant is unknown and therefore currently just given as /C/. This should be changed, if we can find some evidence of what it is/how this morpheme historically was formed. N{Cyuminaq}V
What is the HTR-form of this affix? Neither KL nor SL nor OE mention it. V{vkaq}V
The CED form is {ŋtaɣ-}. What is the source of the /ka/ in Kalaallisut? V{-katak}V
Reference V{-kuluuq}V if/when we add that. V{-kutcuuq}V
Is this affix formed with V{'-q}V, which has caused gemination, and that is the explanation for angutanngerpoq with /ə/ -> [a]? N{ŋŋiq}V
According to MF affix list or CED, there is also another N-V ŋa-, 'position oneself to the N of'. N{-ŋa}V
Does this stem have aq-drop, like the nominal variant? V{ŋŋuaq}V
Find examples of the meaning with negative contemporative: 'without even Vb'ing' V{ŋŋuaq}V
What is the second morpheme {ci} in this affix? Is it related to e.g. ukorsii? Are we even sure it is nominal? V{ŋŋuaqci}N
Can we find examples of this affix denoting 'reason for Vb'ing' or 'time when Vb'ing' also, like V{-(cc)utə}N? V{'-tə}N
What is the behaviour of this affix in t(ə)-stems? There are no examples in SL or Ordbogeeraq V{t(s)aili}V
The verbal variant can cause aq-drop. What about this affix? N{-(g)innaq}N
There are many variants, N{nnit}V, N{ni}V, N{nni}V, V{nnit}V... and so on. All of them non-productive. Should they be added? N{nit}V
SL has an entirely different vv affix -nârpâ 'gerne', and from this -nârâ. It is not in DAKA. It is probably a different morpheme. There is also a monovalent -nârpoĸ, 'blow strongly from'. V{-naaq}V
Is this {na} + {vik} + {aʀ}? V{naviaq}V
Which HTR-morpheme does it use? nnək or ði? V{niaqcarə}V
Are there no examples with clearly monovalent stems? V{niaqcarə}V
Missing examples. V{niassaqə}V
This affix is recorded as valency-preserving, but the others are decreasing (except -sa). Should this also be decreasing. V{-(u)ma}V
Check isimmippaa, 'isimmippaa, støder til ham med foden (især med tæerne). U.s. isimmippoq, s. støder sin fod (/ egentlig sine tæer) på noget (-mut).' according to KL. This suggests that it is reflexive, rather than agentive. N{(q)mik}V
What is this affix, and is it related to V{llammak}N? V{(m)maaq}N
Ordbogeeraq also has a t-t affix -mâĸ, but no explanation of its meaning. Related? V{(m)maaq}N
If this affix is from -(cc)ut(ə), what is the form after [aa] then? Does it inject (cc) or /j/? Currently, the form is given as just -uccuq, but should it be -(cc)uccuq? V{-uccuq}V
What is the etymology of this affix? The explanation in Ordbogêraĸ does not make sense. N{-ucijaq}N
Following Ordbogêraĸ, it must be -ucijaq with a geminating /j/, but do we have any evidence of it geminating? N{-ucijaq}N
missing usage examples V{-jaŋŋit}V
The example in SL does not at all fit with the present meaning. Is this a different morpheme/combination? V{galuktuinnaq}V
What is the first morpheme? V{galuktuaq}V
This affix can either be valency-decreasing or valency-preserving, but we only have a single field for this, rather than a list. V{ðarijaqaq}V
This is not in CED, is it a composite? If so, of what? *{lusuuq}
Missing examples. V{ssagaluaq}V
add reference to {-maaq} when it is added. And check if we can inherit right sandhi. V{kcamaaq}V
Is this affix additive or truncative? Or maybe t-truncative? The examples in OE indicate additive on k-stems at least. V{saaq}V
add {-maaq} as a constituent and check it is the right utə. N{kcamautə}N
is this t-deleting like tət and sima? One examples seems to suggest so, but is it a mistake or can we find more? V{saaq}V
We record the combination here as N{kcaq}N + N{-li}V, but this is only a guess. N{kci}V
Does this affix have gemination? According to SL it might? But not according to OE. N{kcijaq}N
Is this combination correct, or is there a different affix corresponding to n-v '-rĸigpoĸ'? It is not in SL. N{kcaqqik}V
missing usage examples V{lqammiqsima}V
Add nominal V{nqik}N as a variant, when it is added. V{nqik}V
What are the other morphemes? V{lqaaq}V, ???, V{niaq}N, 'one who strives to', N{-u}V, 'be', and then -ut(ə)? This accounts for the extra /u/, but not the missing /a/ and 'in'. V{lqainniuut(ə)}V
missing usage examples V{lqammiŋŋit}V
What is the source of /caq/? It must be a truncative morpheme {-caq}. N{-licaq}V
Is it /s/ or /c/ on tə-stems in the 'resemble' sense? N{-licaq}V
MF says that this may show replacivity, but -lək does not do that. So is this not -lək, or id he wrong? N{-ləkcuu}V
Are we sure this is llaq (vivid action) and not llak (suddenly)? V{llautə}N
What is the origin of the second meaning 'for a while'? It makes no sense that this should be the same morpheme. V{-ləqtuq}V
What is the second component of this affix? V{llammak}N
What is the etymology of this affix? something + ut(ə)? N{-liqŋucaut(ə)}V
What is the origin of /siq/? And if it indeed is a true /i/, does it then also have right-sandhi assibilation? N{-iqsiq}V
examples? V{-riiginnaq}V
examples? V{-riallaq}V
What is the origin of this affix? What is the first morpheme? V{-ruttuq}V
In the -ruttulersut usage, can the subject be coreferent to the subject of the main clause, or must they be different? V{-ruttuq}V
examples? V{-riaraluaq}V
Usage examples missing in SL, and not mentioned elsewhere. N{nkuutəgiik}V
What is the initial /a/ from? Is it N{-aq}N? N{-atciaq}N
Does it decline with the weird a-gemination like N{tciaq}N? N{-atciaq}N
Mentioned by MF, but there are no usage examples. N{-ŋaatciaq}N
Can we find examples of it being used on a divalent stem, i.e. a double-transitive construction? V{t(s)ailiuq}V
Missing examples V{niaqə}V
Missing examples. V{niassa}V
the DAKA examples seem to indicate it can passivize the stem. But I am sure I have seen transitive examples too. Find some. V{nəkuu}V
Example of -ssutigaa following VV? V{-(cc)utəgə}V
Missing usage examples. V{ðarijaqairut(ə)}V
Can we find an example with transitive endings, showing that it indeed is valency preserving as claimed? V{ðuqcuu}V
Missing usage examples V{ðukcaŋŋuq}V
Missing usage examples V{-ðakcau}V
Missing usage examples V{ðukcau}V
Should this be valency increasing or preserving? The agent is impersonal. V{ssaŋatəŋŋiruttuq}V
missing usage examples V{lqammiqnəru}V
