Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This is a straightforward combination of V{-qatə}N, 'fellow in Vb'ing' and N{-u}V, 'is N'. If the stem is divalent and patient-preserving, it will have to first have its valency reduced by adding a HTR-morpheme, before the present affix is added.


Meanings and examples

  • nereqataavoq, he takes part in the meal [FAJN19]

    From nerivoq, 'he eats'.

  • peqataavoq, he participates (in something) [FAJN19]

    From the dummy base {pi}V, giving the pure meaning of the affix.

  • ugguaqataavoq, he partakes in the regret/annoyance [FAJN19]

    From ugguarpoq, 'he regrets/is annoyed (by something)'. Thus, the word implies that there are others, who feel regret or are upset by something, and the subject takes part in this sentiment.
