Description and behaviour


Form and usage:

This is a non-productive affix found in some lexicalised words. It appears to be a combination of N{(q)luk}N and N{-li}V, where the latter has dropped /l/ and removed the final /uk/ from the former.

Regarding the meaning, Kleinschmidt [9] gives the following definition: "Agent makes a bad/ill N to/for Patient." Schultz-Lorentzen [10] translates it as 'Agent does something ill (N) to Patient'.


Left sandhi:

Left sandhi is inherited from the left-most component, N{(q)luk}N. See this for details.


Meanings and examples


  • aserlivoq, he stays away from people
    [9]

    From asi, 'a remote place'.

  • pinerlivaa, he hits him; he causes him bodily harm
    [9]

    This must have been derived in parallel to pinerdlug-, 'commits a crime', which also contains the morpheme N{(q)luk}N.
