Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix denotes 'a quite big N'. It is a straightforward combination of the nominal variants of affixes N{-ŋaaq}N and N{tciaq}N. Both of these also have verbal variants, V{-ŋaaq}V and V{tciaq}V, and there is therefore also a verbal variant of this combination, V{-ŋaatciaq}V, with the corresponding verbal meaning, 'Subject Vb quite a lot'.
