Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The meaning of this stem is 'tea' (in singular: the drink; in plural: tea leaves). It is a loan word, borrowed via Danish 'te'.


Right sandhi:

Note that this stem does not assibilate a following /t/. Also: Some speakers prefer a final /q/ in absolutive singular, i.e. teeq, but this is not part of the stem, and affixes normally attach to the vowel-stem form.


Inflection

Inflection pattern:

Stem type: Vowel stem
Inflection sandhi: Default/none, p-declined
Sources: [JP67]

Notes on inflection:

The stem inflects like an ordinary vowel stem with p-declension. As this is entirely regular, we do not record an inflection paradigm here.
