Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix is a combination of the nominal future affix N{kcaq}N and some version of N{-gik}V, which seems to have caused gemination of the /r/ resulting from the combination /qg/. The meaning is 'Actor is suitable as N', which derives rather straightforwardly from the meanings of the constituents.
