Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this morpheme is 'wait for someone/something to Vb'.
Note: According to [MFSJLK10] The /c/ represents an alveolar plosive 'tj' sound, rather than [ʃ] as in Kalaallisut. The parenthetical segment (c) appears to only be injected in some contexts in the daughter languages, but it is not explained in which contexts.
