Description
Form and usage:
This combination is just a variant of verbal comparative/superlative V{nəru}V, i.e. V{nəq}N + N{-u}V, with emphasising combination N{-rujuk}N{(q)cuaq}N interpolated. The latter is an aq-stem, which drop /aq/ before N{-u}V, thus yielding the present form. As with other combinations of this affix (see N{-rujukcuaq}N and V{ðurujukcuu}V), N{-rujuk}N may be repeated an arbitrary number of times for further emphasis, i.e.:
- -nerujussuuvoq
- -nerujorujussuuvoq
- -nerujorujorujussuuvoq
... and so on.
Left sandhi:The first component, V{nəq}N, may elide a final /ə/, thus so may this combination.
