Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The meaning of this affix is 'Subject Vb badly/unpleasantly'. I suspect it is formed in parallel to affixes such as V{'-qluk}V and V{nəqluk}V, where the former is a contracted (and geminating) variant of the latter. We similarly have N{(q)liuq}V with a somewhat related meaning to the present affix, so the present affix may be a recent a back-formation from this. Indeed, the present affix only seems to occur in newer dictionaries; it is not mentioned in Kleinschmidt [9], Ordbogeeraq [12] or Schultz-Lorentzen [11].


Left sandhi:

Left sandhi is inherited from the left-most component, V{nəq}N. See this for details.
