Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The meaning of this affix is 'Actor gathers N', or 'collects', or 'fetches', etc. The form with initial /s/ are from cases where a true /i/ in the preceding stem has caused assibilation of /t/ to /s/.

  • nilattarpoq, he collects freshwater ice [CBBJRPIKJR97]

    From mannik, 'egg'. The true /i/ in the stem assibilates the /t/ to /s/.
