Meanings and examples
Or 'rather', i.e. indicating 'more than just a little bit', but not to the highest degree.
- amerlakuluppoq, they are quite many
[9]
The verb stem is seemingly not recorded on its own in any dictionary, but cf. amerlaqaat, 'they are very many'.
- angikuluppoq, it is rather big
[9]
From angivoq, 'it is big'.
- natsimakuluppoq, a (somewhat strong) gale is blowing
[9]
From natsimavoq, 'a strong gale is blowing'.
- (-neq) ajukuluppara, I (unfortunately) cannot Vb it; my skills are insufficient
[9]
The example in Kleinschmidt [9] does not include -neq, but from the meaning, and the transitive ending on {ajuq}V, it must be an example of the V{nəq ajuq}V construction.
