Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

This is the absolutive 2sg/sg possessive ending used on p-declined stems (generally: weak stems). For the ending used on up-declined stems (regular/strong stems) see N{-it}.

Note that this ending always is equal to the absolutive plural ending, and to the ergative plural ending.


Left sandhi:

The ending causes weak stems to drop their final consonant. The ending is not inherently truncative (i.e. sandhi truncative), but it is phonotactically truncative. The ending consists of a single consonant, and any stem ending in a consonant must necessarily therefore lose this consonant, since no syllable (and hence no word) can end on a double consonant.
