Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This combination is described in Kleinschmidt, Schultz-Lorentzen and Ordbogeeraq [9, 11, 12], but not in Oqaatsit [14]. It appears to only be used in the old sense of N{-ralak}N, namely 'small N'.
Inflection sandhi:
Inflection sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, N{-aq}N. See this for details.
