Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The meaning of this stem is 'sea cod', Gadus callarias.

The stem is mentioned under {sak}N in the Comparative Eskimo Dictionary [MFSJLK10], but the construction is not explained. However, according to Kleinschmidt [SK71], it is constructed similar to tikaagullik. This stem is explained therein, and the final part is hypothesised to be from the historical ancestors of V{-(cc)utə}N, i.e. +{un}N, and N{-lək}N. Thus, we record the morphemic form here as /saarutlək/, even though in the old orthography, the stem is spelt sârugdlik.

Notes on inflection:

According to Schultz-Lorentzen's grammar [CWSL51], the stem may inflect with weakening of the stem-final /k/. This is also mentioned (parenthetically) in Ordbogeeraq [JP67]. However, this inflection is likely not used nowadays.

Notes on inflection:

According to Schultz-Lorentzen's grammar [CWSL51], the stem may alternatively inflect like a regular k-stem. In this case, the final /ə/ has taken the sound [i] and does not alternate. This inflection is the most common nowadays.
