Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this morpheme is 'something for the future'. It seems to normally have been used with nominal stems, although the authors also cite some examples in Proto-Inuit (PI), where it is used directly on verbal stems. For these cases, they suggest it may represent a conflation with a morpheme {kŝaq}, which, however, they do not give an entry in PE or PI, but only in Proto-Yupik (PY). This morpheme is related to +{kə}+, the present passive participle, and they define its meaning as 'past participial' (or participle). However, if there indeed is a conflation, then that would suggest that the morpheme {kŝaq} must have existed in PE (or, at least, PI) as well.
