Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This stem denotes 'young of an animal' (e.g. 'puppy' of a dog, lamb of a sheep, foal of a horse etc.). It is a straightforward combination of the 'dummy' root {pi}N and N{-araq}N, thus giving the pure meaning of this affix.


Inflection sandhi:

Inflection sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, N{-araq}N. See this for details.
