Description


Form and usage:

This affix is a non-standard, lexicalised combination of V{-gə}V and V{-ut(ə)}V, where the latter apparently has elided /ə/ and caused gemination of /g/ to [kk].

Note: On monovalent stems, the Actor of the underlying stem is mapped to the Patient role of the affix. However, it is unclear from the examples how the mapping is, if the underlying stem itself is divalent.
