Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This combination is an extra emphasis of the 'nominal superlative' meaning of N{(l)liq}N, which denotes 'the N-most' in a given direction N. Hence, the present combination can perhaps best be translated as 'the very N-most'. Note that it has a limited combination potential; it is only used with directional stems N, or, in other words, with (lexicalised) directional nouns formed with N{(l)liq}N.
Left sandhi:
Left sandhi is inherited from the left-most component, N{(l)liq}N. See this for details.
Right sandhi:
Right sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, N{paaq}N. See this for details.
