Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This combination has a special meaning when used with endings in the imperative mood, where it denotes a sense of impatience: 'come on, Vb now already!'. Compare each of the constituents, which also have this meaning individually. The form is derived through insertion of the epenthetic /g/ at the boundary to separate /ii.i/, as V{-(g)innaq}V regularly does.
Inflection sandhi:
Inflection sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{-(g)innaq}V. See this for details.
