Form and usage:
This is a non-productive variant form of the affix N{-kuluk}N. According to both Kleinschmidt [9] and Schultz-Lorentzen [10] , it is primarily (if not only) used following N{ŋŋuaq}N, where it denotes pity, i.e. 'poor, pitiful N'. We record this combination separately, see N{ŋŋuakkuluk}N.
