| Kalaallisut | Translation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| matulerpaa | He puts a door in it; he equips it with a door. | |
| naalakkerpaa | he commands him (to ...) | From naalagaq, 'something to be obeyed' (also lexicalised as 'master'), so literally 'he equips him with something to be obeyed'. The affix causes /aq/ drop, and then compensatory gemination in the stem. |
