Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The meaning of this affix is 'Subject Vb incessantly', or 'all the time', or similar. It is productive nowadays; older dictionaries such as Kleinschmidt [9] and Schultz-Lorentzen [10] instead give a variant form, V{(t)tuinnaq}V, which however does not appear to be used productively nowadays, since it does not appear in Oqaatsit [13] .

Left sandhi is inherited from the left-most component, V{juaq}V. See this for details.


Inflection sandhi:

Inflection sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{-(g)innaq}V. See this for details.
