Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This is a special combination of V{llaq}V, here acting as a generic strengthener/emphasis, and the highly irregular affix V{ðarə}V, 'repeated action'. The latter has suppletion with two other morphemes: an historical morpheme {ɣai-} or {ɣaa-}, and another, non-productive habitual marker {aʀ-}, i.e. V{-aq}V. The general suppletive form is V{garə}V, but it may in certain cases also appear as V{-arə}V or V{gai}V. The present affix is formed with V{-arə}V, but the form V{gai}V may also show up in some of the inflections, as noted below.


Right sandhi:

Right sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{ðarə}V. See this for details.


Inflection sandhi:

Inflection sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, V{ðarə}V. See this for details.
