Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This is a valency-increasing affix: it adds new roles to the relation, and it can form so-called 'double-transitive' verbs, if used on a divalent-stem. See further the general description of these constructions here: Double-transitive constructions.
This affix is a combination of V{t(s)aili}V, 'Agent prevents Patient from Vb'ing', and the non-productive affix V{-uq}V denoting repeated or prolonged action.
According to Schultz-Lorentzen [11], the meaning is therefore straightforwardly 'Agent repeatedly prevents Patient from Vb'ing'.
However, today, it seems to be used interchangeably with V{t(s)aili}V, and even be preferred to it, so we record it here as a variant.
Left sandhi:
Left sandhi is inherited from the left-most component, V{t(s)aili}V. See this for details.
Meanings and examples
Possibly 'Agent repeatedly prevents Patient from Vb'ing' according to Schultz-Lorentzen [11], although it is unclear whether this nuance in meaning is distinguished today.
- qaqitsaaliorpaa, he (still) prevents him from reaching the summit of it
[11]
E.g. a mountain, from qaqivaa, 'he reaches the top of it'. Schultz-Lorentzen [11] translates it with 'still', because of the presence of V{-uq}V, but this additional meaning may not be recognised nowadays.
