Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix appears to be a combination of V{sima}V, here in the meaning of 'has Vb'ed', and the affix V{-aq}V, 'prolonged activity'. However, the meaning is difficult to capture:

Here, we shall use the meaning from the Comparative Eskimo Dictionary, but note that this general meaning will have to be adapted to the specific usage.


Left sandhi:

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


Meanings and examples

This general meaning will have to be adapted to the specific usage.

  • kaasimaarpoq, he stands with his hands in his pockets [11]

    Seemingly from kaavaa, 'he puts his hand(s) into it', used intransitively.

  • inersimaaraluarpoq, it has actually been finished for a while [11]

    From inerpoq, 'it is finished'.

  • naammatsisimaarpoq, he feels full and satisfied [11]

    From naammatsippoq, 'he is full (after having eaten); he has had enough'. Note that this is a t-stem, formed with V{tət}V, so this illustrates that the present affix can be truncative on t-stems.

  • kaffisorsimaarpoq, he feels good after having drunk coffee [14]
  • neqitorsimaarpoq, he feels good after having eaten meat [14]
  • nerisimaarpoq, he feels good after having eaten [14]
