Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this morpheme is/was 'in the future (and then)'. In some of the daughter-languages in PI (East-Canadian Inuit and Kalaallisut), where it becomes {gi}, the /g/ may change to /n/ when following the negation affix, e.g. in Kalaallisut

similar to the special form of the causative mood marker {ga}. The reason for this behaviour is not explained.
