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{-liq}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 provides Patient with a bad N; Agent brings Patient to be in an ill(favoured) condition with respect to N." When used intransitively without a HTR-morpheme, the meaning becomes reflexive.


Left sandhi:

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


Meanings and examples


Or 'Agent brings Patient to be in an ill(favoured) condition with respect to N'.

  • innarlerpaa, he damages it
    [10]

    Lexicalised, the base is unclear but compare innarlug-, 'be in disorder'.

  • inuuserlerpoq, he faints
    [10]

    Lexicalised, seemingly from inuuseq, 'way of being; habit', and with an intransitive ending, making the meaning reflexive. Thus literally: 'he provides himself with a bad way of being'?
