Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this affix is 'take along with one'. The authors propose that it may be from a combination of +{ləg}N + +{lir}V with drop of /ə/ and loss of the initial /l/ from the second morpheme, maybe similar to the VC-drop process seen in Kalaallisut.
