Description Entry
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
Missing usage examples V{ðukcau}V
Missing usage examples V{-ðakcau}V
Missing usage examples V{ðukcaŋŋuq}V
Can we find an example with transitive endings, showing that it indeed is valency preserving as claimed? V{ðuqcuu}V
Example of -ssutigaa following VV? V{-(cc)utəgə}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
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
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
Missing examples. V{niassaqə}V
What is the second morpheme after niaq? V{niaqcarə}V
Which HTR-morpheme does it use? nnək or ði? V{niaqcarə}V
Is it really agentive? And what is the source of the valency increase? V{niaqcarə}V
Are there no examples with clearly monovalent stems? V{niaqcarə}V
Missing examples. V{niassa}V
Missing examples V{niaqə}V
Is this {na} + {vik} + {aʀ}? V{naviaq}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
The verbal variant can cause aq-drop. What about this affix? N{-(g)innaq}N
Can we find examples of it being used on a divalent stem, i.e. a double-transitive construction? V{t(s)ailiuq}V
What is the behaviour of this affix in t(ə)-stems? There are no examples in SL or Ordbogeeraq V{t(s)aili}V
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 second morpheme {ci} in this affix? Is it related to e.g. ukorsii? Are we even sure it is nominal? V{ŋŋuaqci}N
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
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
The CED form is {ŋtaɣ-}. What is the source of the /ka/ in Kalaallisut? V{-katak}V
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
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
This affix is not in the CED, the etymology is unknown. V{-kisaq}V
examples? V{-riaraluaq}V
examples? V{-riallaq}V
examples? V{-riiginnaq}V
Does this have aq_drop like its nominal variant? Do we have any examples to prove/disprove it? V{(q)cuaq}V
Find some examples with -reernikuu- and -reersima-. V{-riiq}V
Add reference to verbal variant -rujugpoĸ N{-rujuk}N
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
Do we have examples of the 'spend the N' meaning mentioned in Fortescue/CED? N{-li}V
Add nominal V{nqik}N as a variant, when it is added. V{nqik}V
Is this combination correct, or is there a different affix corresponding to n-v '-rĸigpoĸ'? It is not in SL. N{kcaqqik}V
What are the origins of this affix? N{kcaq}N, N{-it}V and what? N{kcaisua}V
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
Missing examples. V{ssagaluaq}V
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
