Description and behaviour


Form and usage:

This word is a combination of {apqutə}N + N{-li}V + V{nəq}N, where N{-li}V regularly causes replacivity, changing /təl/ to /s/.

This word declines as V{nəq}N, its final constituent. Thus it can be declined either as strong q-stem with weakening, or with metathesis.


Right sandhi:

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


Inflection sandhi:

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