Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This affix is a rather non-obvious combination (in terms of its meaning): it means something like 'Subject has been given the right/permission to Vb'. It is included in Nielsen's affix list [FAJN19], but it is not mentioned directly in any dictionary. However, it can be seen in words such as pilersitseqqaartutut pisinnaatitaaneq, 'copy right' and inuttut pisinnaatitaaffiit, 'human rights'.
