Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
The meaning of this stem is 'Actor is thankful' or 'says thanks'.
Note that it is monovalent, even though we in English likely would consider this act divalent, i.e. one thanks someone.
However, that meaning requires a transitivising affix in Kalaallisut, usually V{'-vigə}V.
The thing, that Actor is thankful for, may optionally be added in the allative case.
