This affix is just a verbal form of superlative V{nəqcaq}N, created with N{-u}V. It is similar in meaning to V{nəqpau}V, i.e. 'the most Vb'ing', and the two can be used interchangeably, although V{nəqpau}V seems to be more common.
Left sandhi:
Left sandhi is inherited from the left-most component, V{nəqcaq}N. See this for details.
