Description Entry
Nielsen kalder den refleksiv (samme some tqu), men jeg synes ikke helt, det passer med nogle af betydningerne, fx aatippoq. Han siger også, at agentive stammer opfører sig som subjektive. Det passer bedre med de andre dobbelttransitive stammer. V{tət}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? Nielsen seems to think it can just be generally truncative. V{saaq}V
This is not in CED, is it a composite? If so, of what? *{lusuuq}
What is the root of this stem? {uyamiɣ}? {ujamirijak}N
Are these two meanings from two different forms? {məklijaq}N
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
Do we have examples of the 'spend the N' meaning mentioned in Fortescue/CED? N{-li}V
The verbal variant can cause aq-drop. What about this affix? N{-(g)innaq}N
Missing usage examples V{-ðakcau}V
Can we find an example with transitive endings, showing that it indeed is valency preserving as claimed? V{ðuqcuu}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
Missing usage examples. V{ðarijaqairut(ə)}V
What is the first morpheme? V{galuktuaq}V
Nielsen also has -gissar- with single a, but with the same meaning as this affix. No other dictionary mentions this. N{-giksaaq}V
The example in SL does not at all fit with the present meaning. Is this a different morpheme/combination? V{galuktuinnaq}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
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
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
Nielsen claims the form is -mmig-, but (r)mig- after tə. Does this fit better? N{(q)mik}V
Is this {na} + {vik} + {aʀ}? V{naviaq}V
Not in CED. Is the vowel /i/ or /ə/? OE does not say that it assibilates /t/. V{nni}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
Search for ssarâ, ssaraoĸ, rssarâ, rssaraoĸ. There are more examples on OE, and some are lexicalised words. V{(q)carə}V
Which HTR-morpheme does it use? nnək or ði? V{niaqcarə}V
Missing examples. V{niassa}V
Missing examples V{niaqə}V
What are the constituents of this affix? N{nniqsaaq}V
Does this have aq_drop like its nominal variant? Do we have any examples to prove/disprove it? V{(q)cuaq}V
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
What is the middle segment /qqisa/ of this morpheme? V{nəqqisaut(ə)}V
Nielsen mentions a variant form, +niqqusaatə, with apparently the same meaning. V{nəqqisaut(ə)}V
Nielsen siger reflexive-resultative, men giver det bedre mening end passive-resultative? V{tətəq}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 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 it being used on a divalent stem, i.e. a double-transitive construction? V{t(s)ailiuq}V
According to Nielsen, there is a variant -tsaag- with the same meaning. V{tcak}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
What is the second component {caa}? V{-ŋajakcaa}V
Is this a composite affix? And if so, what are the components? V{ŋŋujuuq}V
What are the components of this affix? V{caaq}V, 'at intervals' doesn't make sense, and {ŋŋiq-} is 'want/crave'. V{ŋŋiqcaaq}V
Is this related to -ngajassaavoq, 'is just about to' in DAKA? Add relation when added. V{ŋŋiqcaaq}V
According to Nielsen, there are also variants -nngissaa(r)-, he gives the single example: uppinngissaarpoq/uppinngissaavoq, det var lige ved at vælte. V{ŋŋiqcaaq}V
Mentioned by MF, but there are no usage examples. N{-ŋaatciaq}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
According to MF affix list or CED, there is also another N-V ŋa-, 'position oneself to the N of'. N{-ŋa}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
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
What is the diathesis and valency of this? My guess is reflexive and agent-increasing, but this is a pure guess. We know there is a HTR-stem, so it is likely not agentive. V{-suŋaq}V
Reference V{-kuluuq}V if/when we add that. V{-kutcuuq}V
The CED form is {ŋtaɣ-}. What is the source of the /ka/ in Kalaallisut? V{-katak}V
What is the HTR-form of this affix? Neither KL nor SL nor OE mention it. V{vkaq}V
Add reference to V{-kulooq}V, when we add that. N{-kuluuq}N
How does this decline? Is it indeed up-declined? N{-kasik}N
how is it inflected? Any examples outside of absolutive singular? N{-kanniq}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 does this decline? Is it indeed up-declined? N{-kapsak}N
This affix is not in the CED, the etymology is unknown. V{-kisaq}V
Usage examples missing in SL, and not mentioned elsewhere. N{nkuutəgiik}V
What is this affix? Is it a combination? Is the final vowel i or ə, and does it cause assibilation? V{kkisiq}V
How does this decline? Examples outside of ABS.sg? N{kkaaq}N
examples? V{-riaraluaq}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{-riallaq}V
Find some examples with -reernikuu- and -reersima-. V{-riiq}V
examples? V{-riiginnaq}V
Missing inflection pattern - it is not described in OE. N{(q)vasik}N
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
What is the source of this affix? And is the last vowel /i/ or /ə/? N{-iqluiq}V
What are the components of this? N{-liqcaaq}V
What are the components of this? V{-liq}V and what is then /caaq/? V{-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 is the etymology of this affix? something + ut(ə)? N{-liqŋucaut(ə)}V
What is the second component of this affix? V{llammak}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
Are we sure this is llaq (vivid action) and not llak (suddenly)? V{llautə}N
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
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
Nielsen lists variants -qqatar-, -qqatug-, -qqatur- with the same meaning, but I cannot find any of them in the other dictionaries. V{vqaq}V
missing usage examples V{lqammiŋŋit}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
There is also inoqqaavi t qass nunap inoqqaavi den oprindelige befolkning; urbefolkning (-en), which suggests there should be a nominal variant N{lqaaq}N too (the first/original people). V{lqaaq}N
missing usage examples V{lqammiqsima}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
missing usage examples V{lqammiqnəru}V
Nielsen claims an entirely different meaning for qqajaaler-: har længe været ved at Vb'e, which makes no sense w.r.t. the other examples. V{lqajaa}V
Can we find examples of this affix in other cases than absolutive singular? How does it decline? V{lqammiq}N
Not in OE, how does this stem decline? N{ccaaq}N
Is this combination correct, or is there a different affix corresponding to n-v '-rĸigpoĸ'? It is not in SL. N{kcaqqik}V
Does this affix have gemination? According to SL it might? But not according to OE. N{kcijaq}N
What are the origins of this affix? N{kcaq}N, N{-it}V and what? Is it kcaq + -isuq + something instead? N{kcaisua}V
We record the combination here as N{kcaq}N + N{-li}V, but this is only a guess. N{kci}V
add {-maaq} as a constituent and check it is the right utə. N{kcamautə}N
How does this affix behave on t-stems? V{-(c)i}V
add reference to {-maaq} when it is added. And check if we can inherit right sandhi. V{kcamaaq}V
Should this be valency increasing or preserving? The agent is impersonal. V{ssaŋatəŋŋiruttuq}V
Missing examples. V{ssagaluaq}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
