Description
Form and usage:
Combination of V{-ut(ə)}V and V{(q)cuq}V, where /tc/ non-standardly assimilate to /cc/. Given the meaning of ths affix, it only makes sense with (object) endings in plural.
Left sandhi:The left-most morpheme is V{-ut(ə)}V, so this morpheme may cause a preceding /aq/ to drop from the stem or otherwise join onto the stem in an irregular fashion. See V{-ut(ə)}V for further notes on the left-sandhi behaviour.
