Description
Form and usage:
There is some doubt about what HTR-morpheme is preferred by the stem: According to the DAKA it is {nnək}, i.e. takunnippoq, but you may also encounter {ði}, i.e. takusivoq. The transitive imperative 2sg/3sg ending commonly appears as V{-uk}, rather than the regular V{-juk} on vowel stems: thus this form will often be takuuk!, although you also may encounter the regular form takujuk!

Note: When used with intransitive endings (with plural person) and no intervening HTR-morpheme, the meaning becomes reflexive/reciprocal, 'Agents see each other'. |
