Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix is a combination of V{llaq}V, here denoting emphasis, and V{'-rik}V, 'Subject is proficient at Vb'ing'. Thus, the meaning of the present affix, is straightforward: 'Subject is (particularly) proficient at Vb'ing'.

The latter affix normally causes gemination of a single consonant in the preceding stem, but in the case of V{llaq}V, there is no single consonant to geminate, so the form is therefore just plain /llarik/. However, note also that the alternative combination V{llaqqik}V, which apparently is synonymous with the present affix, and where gemination seems to have been displaced onto the /r/.


Right sandhi:

Right sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{'-rik}V. See this for details.
