Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This is a straightforward combination of the non-productive affix N{luaq}V, 'Actor is dissatisfied with N' and V{-gə}V, 'Agent considers Patient (too) Vb'ing'. The meaning thus becomes 'Agent finds Patient a dissatisfying N', or simply: 'Agent finds Patient=N dissatisfying'. The construction is mentioned by Kleinschmidt [SK71] and Schultz-Lorentzen [CWSL58] under the entry for -luarpoĸ, but they do not give any examples.


Left sandhi:

Left sandhi is inherited from the left-most component, N{luaq}V. See this for details.
