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 definitely Vb - just wait and see!', although he gives no examples of its usage. The combination is formed from V{llaq}V, 'vivid, narrative action' and V{ssa}V, 'future action'. See also the combination V{llarumaaq}V with a related meaning.
Inflection sandhi:
Inflection sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{ssa}V. See this for details.
