Description and behaviour


Form and usage:

The meaning of this stem is anorak (from which this word is also borrowed, cf. the old orthography spelling ánorâĸ), i.e. a traditional type of clothing/over-coat.


Inflection sandhi:

This stem displays irregular gemination of an unknown consonant in the stem, so /aa/ ⇒ /acca/. However, according to Ordbogeeraq [14], it may alternatively also just decline like a weak q-stem without any gemination. We do not record this alternative declension here.
