Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
The affix is formed through combination of V{ŋŋit}V, 'negation' and V{(l)luinnaq}V, 'completely', which itself is built from V{(l)luaq}V and V{-(g)innaq}V. Hence, the meaning is straightforward 'not at all'.
Inflection sandhi:
Inflection sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{-(g)innaq}V. See this for details.
Meanings and examples
- ajunngilluinnarpoq, it is really good
[16]
I.e. 'not at all bad'. Compare ajorluinnanngilaq, 'it is not entirely bad', where the negation instead occurs after V{(l)luinnaq}V.
