Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This stem denotes 'provision(s)' for a journey, 'travelling provision(s)' etc. According to the Comparative Eskimo Dictionary [MFSJLK10], the historical, reconstructed stem is {taqu(C)aʀ} with an injected, unknown consonant. In the morphemic form given here, we write this consonant as (j), since it geminates to [cc] during inflection.


Inflection sandhi:

The stem has gemination of an unwritten consonant between /ua/. In the form recorded here, we indicate this unwritten consonant as (j).
