Description
Form:
This morpheme is a non-standard combination of non-productive N{-li}V (make) and passive participle V{-ðaq}N, with apparent loss of /ð/ (or weakening of /ð/ to /j/), which however resurfaces in gemination.
Left sandhi:It inherits the left sandhi behaviour of its leftmost constituent, so it can display replacivity and cause /aq/ to drop on a preceeding stem.
