Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
The meaning of this stem is 'Actor comes (from N@ABL)', or 'approaches' etc.
Thus, it describes the same action as {təkit}V, but it focuses on the movement, rather than the destination.
Compare the following:
- Aqagu tikissaanga, 'I shall arrive tomorrow' (after having travelled)
- Aqagu aggissaanga, 'I shall come tomorrow' (I intend to go)
Right sandhi:
A subsequent /t/ may become /s/ because of the true /i/ in the stem; for example {aggiq}V + V{ðuq}N ⇒ aggersoq.
Inflection
Inflection pattern:
| Stem type: | q-stem |
| Inflection sandhi: | Default/none |
