Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this affix is 'one after the other (now and then)'. They suggest it might be from an older form {*k(k)arar}, cf. +{raq}V, with a generalisation of /k/ to /q/ from uvular bases.

For the second form, they relate it to Proto-Yupik {qə-}, which suggests that there may have been an older form of this morpheme in PE as well, cf. +{qə}V.
