Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This combination is described in Fortescue's Comparative Manual of Affixes [2], where he defines it as '`Subject will Vb - just wait and see!'. He gives no examples of its usage, but there is a single example in Schultz-Lorentzen [4] under -tdlarpoĸ, which matches this meaning. The combination is formed from V{llaq}V, 'vivid, narrative action' and V{yumaaq}V, 'shall eventually Vb', which itself is a combination of V{yuma}V and V{-aq}V. See also the combination V{llassa}V with a related meaning.
