Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This stem is a combination of {atqanəq}N + N{-lək}N. It denotes the quantity eleven, which is used whenever one is speaking of a quantity of eleven items. For the numeral, see {atqanəq}N.

This quantity is naturally plural, so it is only used with plural endings. Note that, since the final component is N{-lək}N, which has limited metathesis in the grammatical cases, the plural form in the prepositional cases changes quite a bit. Thus for example in the instrumental case: arfinilinnik.


Meanings and examples

The quantity is plural and is used with plural endings.

  • aqqanilinnik ukioqarpoq, he's eleven years old [CB96]
  • ukiut aqqanillit, eleven years
