Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix is a straightforward combination of V{juaq}V, 'always, continually' and the affix V{sinnaq}V, which is a marginally productive, variant form of V{-(g)innaq}V, here used in the sense of 'always, continually'. Thus, the meaning of this affix seems almost like a pleonasm, 'always always'. Schultz-Lorentzen [10] translates it as: 'continues uninterruptedly/incessantly to Vb'.


Left sandhi:

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{sinnaq}V. See this for details.
