Description
Form and usage:
Schultz-Lorentzen (1958) does mention alternative forms of this affix with schwa-contracted endings, i.e. -leraoĸ (new orthography -leraaq). However, this does not seem to be used nowadays, so we record it as having regular right-sandhi, i.e. without schwa-contraction.
Left sandhi:The affix may optionally display replacivity, cause aq-drop (or even more generally drop of any final /VC/ on weak stem) and possibly trigger gemination in the noun stem.
