Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
The meaning of this stem is 'Agent answers Patient', and, when used intransitively 'Actor replies.'
According to the Comparative Eskimo Dictionary [MFSJLK10], the stem is historically the same as {aki}N, 'opposite'.
Right sandhi:
Forms such as {aki}V + V{tət}V ⇒ akisippaa show that this stem has assibilation.
Notable forms:
-
HTR:
{aki}V + V{ði}V ⇒ /akici/
This HTR-form is listed in Oqaatsit [CBBJRPIKJR97], but not in the older dictionaries, so it is not clear how commonly it is used, and for what purpose. Normally, the stem is agentive, so it does not need a HTR-morpheme to take intransitive form.
Inflection
Inflection pattern:
| Stem type: | Vowel stem |
| Inflection sandhi: | Default/none |
