Description


Form and usage:

Straightforward combination of passive participle V{-ðaq}N, future nominal N{kcaq}N, and N{-u}V. It only makes sense on divalent stems, since it reduces the valency. The underlying Agent can be reintroduced in the Ablative case.

Left sandhi:

The leftmost morpheme is V{ðaq}N, so this combination inherits its idiosyncratic left-sandhi behaviour. See its entry for details.

Right sandhi: Regular
