Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix means 'Actor lacks N'. It is used productively and is formed from the nominal future affix N{kcaq}N and the non-productive affix N{-iliqə}V with the same meaning as this affix. Despite N{kcaq}N being part of this combination, this affix does not seem to have a meaning related to 'future'.


Inflection sandhi:

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