Meanings and examples
Or 'has moved'. It is only with spatial/directional stems N.
- avannarparpoq, he has moved further towards North
[4]
- kujavarpoq, he moves further towards South
[4]
This is strangely formed from {kuja}N, rather than the usual directional stem {kujatə}N.
- kangiarpoq, he moves further towards east
[4]
This is irregularly formed with loss of /v/. Presumably kangivarpoq might also be used.
- kipparpoq, he has moved further towards West
[8]
This is from the spatial noun {kətə}N, 'area to the West' with elision of /ə/.
- ilorparpoq, he has moved further inwards
[8]
- silavarpoq, he has moved further outwards
[4]
With sila here in the sense of 'out(side)', rather than the usual 'weather'.
- ungavarpoq, he moves further away
