Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This stem denotes 'ankle' according to the older dictionaries [SK71], [CWSL58], but not in Ordbogeeraq [JP67] or Oqaatsit [CBBJRPIKJR97].

The stem is not listed in the Comparative Eskimo Dictionary [MFSJLK10], but I assume it is derived from {itəɣ}, 'boot tip', cf. {isə}N, hence we record the moprhemic form here as /isəraq/.
