Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
This is a straightforward combination of N{-li}V and V{-(cc)ut(ə)}V, albeit with a somewhat unobvious meaning: 'Agent makes N from Patient' or 'Agent uses Patient as N'.
Note also the related combination N{-lijarə}V with an apparently similar meaning.
Left sandhi:
Left sandhi is inherited from the left-most component, N{-li}V. See this for details.
Right sandhi:
Right sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{-(cc)ut(ə)}V. See this for details.
Inflection sandhi:
Inflection sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{-(cc)ut(ə)}V. See this for details.
Notable forms:
-
HTR-form:
N{-liut(ə)}V + V{ði}V ⇒ /-liucci/
