Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to [MFSJLK10], this morpheme is a nominaliser. They do not describe which kind in PE, but in the daughter languages the meaning is either 'the act of Vb'ing' or 'the result of Vb'ing'. For the latter meaning, they also mention +{q}N in the Inuit branch.

Note that there is also another morpheme, +{nər}N, with the same form. This pair seems to mirror the pair +{ɬər}N and +{ɬər}N, where the former corresponds to the present morpheme.
