Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix is a nominal variant of V{lqammiq}V, 'Vb'ed recently'. Its meaning is equivalent to the combination V{lqammiq}V{ðuq}V, i.e. 'one who recently Vb'ed'. It is not mentioned in newer dictionaries, so it is presumably not used productively today.


Inflection

Declension pattern
Declension type: p-declined
Declension sandhi: Default/none

Notes on declension:

The affix is presumably just p-declined like an ordinary weak q-stem, since this is the most common. However, the dictionaries do not give any examples of its usage outside of the unmarked absolutive singular. Thus, in the absence of further documentation, we do not give a full declension pattern here.
