Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix is a straightforward combination of intransitive participle V{ðuq}N, future nominal N{kcaq}N, and N{-u}V, denoting 'Subject is supposed to Vb'ed'. It indicates an obligation, somewhat similar to 'shall', but unlike V{ssa}V, which does not have the 'obligation' sense. See also the related affix V{-ðakcau}V, which is a similar combination, but with the passive participle V{ðuq}N instead of the intransitive participle.

Right sandhi:

Right sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, N{-u}V. See this for details.
