Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The meaning of this affix is given as 'Vb strongly/rapidly', but this is only an approximation. It seems to be translatable as just about any word that expresses vivid and/or surprising action, and it is therefore mainly used in narrative speech to make it more vivid.
