Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This stem is actually a contraction of the particle {ima}, actually the exclamatory/predicative form of the demonstrative root {im}D, and the base {ət}V denoting 'to be'. It may also be used with the anaphoric prefix {ta(ð)}*, seemingly with no difference in meaning, so we record both possible forms here.


Right sandhi:

Right sandhi is inherited from the right-most component, {ət}V. See this for details.
