Description
Form and usage:
This affix may be related to N{-it}V, 'is without N', although the relation is unclear according to Fortescue et al. (2010).
Note that this is a true t-stem, so with the intransitive participle V{ðuq}N and endings in the intransitive participial mood (mood marker {ðu}), /tð/ will not assimilate fully but instead yield 'ts'.
