Description
Form and usage:
According to Fortescue et al. (2010), this affix derives from {ðuʀ}, i.e. the intransitive participle V{ðuq}N. However, the final part /uq/ is not explained therein.
Left sandhi:On old t-stems, this affix (usually) attaches to /t/ without assimilating it. This is especially the case with all verb stems formed with V{ŋŋit}V, N{-it}V and V{-it}V. Thus e.g. with V{ŋŋit}V, the combination yields
- V{ŋŋit}V{ðuuq}V ⇒ -nngitsoor-
similar to the left-most constituent V{ðuq}N.
