Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this morpheme is/was 'be'. The authors seem to suggest that this either may have been an independent base at some point, or that the reflex of it in the Aleutian dialect of Attu may be used as an independent base, rather than as an affix.
