Description
Left sandhi:
The initial segment (gi) is dropped on all vowel stems, but inserted on all consonant stems (including ut(ə)-stems, since this affix is additive and thus attaches to /t/). Thus, this affix has two forms:
- {jaqtuq} when following a vowel
- {gijaqtuq} when following a consonant

Notes |
|
go (in order) to Vb |
The affix V{giaq}V may alternatively be used in this sense, which can also help to disambiguate the meaning from the other usage of this affix ('more and more'). |
Examples |
Vb more and more |
On stems describing a state of being. This meaning may not be as common as 'go and Vb', but it does exist and is also used productively in this sense. |
