Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to the examples in Oqaatsit [14], the meaning of this affix is 'it takes a long time for Subject to Vb'. It is not found in older dictionaries. It is clearly a combined affix, and the first segment appears to be V{yumaaq}V, 'shall eventually Vb'. The second part is unclear.


Left sandhi:

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