Meaning
complete(ly) N
Notes
It seem to be used in particular with the special quantitative pronouns {tamaq}N and {kəsi}N.
| Kalaallisut | Translation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| tamarluinnarmik | everyone | Or 'completely all' etc., i.e. the affix emphasises the meaning of {tamaq}N, 'all'. |
| kiserluinnatta | just us | Or 'us alone', 'us, and none other' etc., again with an emphasis of {kəsi}N, 'alone'. |
| silagilluinnaq | exceptionally good weather | From silagik, 'good weather'. This example illustrates that the affix also can be used on ordinary noun stems. |
