Meanings and examples

Only with monovalent stems, according to Nielsen [FAJN19].

  • aneqqusaanngilaq, he must not go out; he is forbidden to go out [FAJN19]

    From anivoq, 'he exits; goes out'.

  • atoqqusaanngilaq, it must not be used [FAJN19]

    From atorpaa, 'he uses it'. Note that this is a patientive stem, i.e. atorpoq, 'it is used', so it seems that the stem has dropped its Agent role before this affix.

  • ammarneqaqqusaanngilaq, it must not be opened; it is forbidden to open it [FAJN19]

    From ammarpaa, 'he opens it' and the passivising affix V{nəqaq}V.
