Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix is a straightforward combination of V{lqammiq}V, 'recently' and the comparative affix V{nəru}V. However, according to Fortescue (1983), the comparative meaning is here only applied to the meaning of V{lqammiq}V, and not to the whole preceding stem. Hence, the meaning becomes 'Subject Vb'ed more recently'.
