Right sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{-(cc)ut(ə)}V. See this for details.

Meanings and examples

Or 'Agent makes Patient into an N'

  • matuliuppaa, he makes a door from it [11]
  • puuliuppaa, he makes a bag from it [11]

  • saviliuppaa, he uses it as a knife [14]
  • aquusiuppaa, He uses it to steer [14]

    From aquut, 'steering tool' (rudder), so literally 'he uses it as a steering tool'. Note: here we see the affix causing replacivity of /təl/ ⇒ /s/.
