Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This is a nominal variant of V{(q)gusuk}V, 'want/desire to'. According to Schultz-Lorentzen [16], the meaning is 'want/desire'. Thus, the meaning seems equivalent to the combination V{(q)gusuk}V + V{nəq}N. It is not mentioned in newer dictionaries, and even Schultz-Lorentzen only gives a single example, so it is clearly not used productively.
