Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

The meaning of this stem is 'Agent rows Patient', i.e. a boat. Kleinschmidt [SK71] further elaborates that he rows a boat with a an oar that has a single oar blade (unlike the kayak oar, which is double-bladed).

The present stem appears to only be used transitively. For the corresponding intransitive usage, 'Actor rows', see {ipuk}V. According to Kleinschmidt [SK71], the corresponding passive participle, ipugaq, is also formed from that stem, rather than the present stem. There also seems to be some confusion regarding whether {ipuk}V should be used transitively as well, or whether the present stem should be used for the transitive usage. See the variant for further notes on the etymology for a possible explanation for this confusion.
