Description and behaviour


Form and usage:

This affix is a straightforward combination of V{-qatə}N and N{-gə}V. The meaning follows from the constituents: 'Agent Vb together with Patient'. Note that if the preceding stem is divalent and non-agentive, it will need to take a HTR-morpheme before this affix is added.


Meanings and examples


  • suleqatigaara, I work together with him

    Note, there is no difference between saying 'I work together with him' and 'he is my colleague'.
