Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This affix is a HTR-morpheme. See the entry for V{ði}V for a general explanation of HTR-morphemes.
The present affix is primarily used on ə-stems, almost all of which are formed with N{-gə}V or V{-gə}V. However, it is sometimes also used on other vowel-stems as well, for example asavaa, asannippoq, 'he loves him' and takuaa, takunnippoq, 'he sees him'. According to Kleinschmidt [9], it is occasionally also used on q-stems and k-stems, but he does not give any examples.
