Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This is a straightforward combination of V{ŋŋit}V, 'negation' and V{-vik}V, 'completely', giving the meaning 'not at all'. See also the reverse combination, V{-viŋŋit}V, for a different meaning. Note that although the affix is valency preserving, and hence can appear with transitive endings, there is not HTR-stem, since any HTR-morpheme would be added before this affix.
Meanings and examples
