Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

From the examples given in Oqaatsit [19], the meaning of this affix is 'Agent asks/encourages Patient to Vb with him=Agent'. The affix does not appear in any of the older dictionaries; the first appearance I have found is in Oqaatsit [19] from 1997, so it must be recently formed.
