Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The meaning of this affix is 'Actor=Patient sells N'. It is a straightforward combination of N{-iq}V in the special sense of 'sells N' with intransitive endings, and V{niaq}V, 'intends to'. It may be used instead of just N{-iq}V to emphasise the 'sell' meaning


Left sandhi:

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


Meanings and examples

Despite the component N{-iq}V being divalent, this combination is only used with intransitive endings.

  • saveerniarpoq, he sells knives [19]
  • sikuerniarpoq, he intends to sell ice(cream) [19]
  • neqaarniarusuppoq, he wants to become a butcher [16]

    Literally 'he wants to sell meat'. From {nəqə}N, 'meat', and with V{(q)gusuk}V, 'want to'.
