Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
The meaning of this stem is 'summer'. According to the Comparative Eskimo Dictionary [MFSJLK10], it is related to the stem {aʀu-}, 'to rot', presumably via the meaning 'to thaw' (of the snow/ice).
Inflection
Inflection pattern:
| Stem type: | q-stem |
| Inflection sandhi: | Weak stem, Default/none, p-declined |
| Sources: | [JP67] |
Notes on inflection:
The stem declines as an ordinary weak q-stem with p-declension, which is entirely regular, so we do not give an inflection pattern.
