Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This is an irregularly formed combination of N{-lirə}V, 'Actor works with N' and V{-(cc)utə}N, 'tool/means to Vb', where it appears that /ə/ has been dropped and replaced ny /utə/.
Note also the regularly formed variant N{-lirəccutə}N with seemingly the same meaning.
Left sandhi:
Left sandhi is inherited from the left-most component, N{-lirə}V. See this for details.
