Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this affix is 'first'. The authors suggests it might be derived from +{ɬər}N plus an affix {rarar-}, which they however do not give an entry in PE. Instead, it is only recorded in PY, so if this were to be the case, it would presuppose that that affix existed in PE as well. As this is hypothetical, we do not record the present affix as a combination. However, note the affix +{n(ə)rar(ar)}+, which might be constructed in a parallel fashion from +{nər}N.

Lastly, the authors note that this this affix is q-initial in the Inuit branch, which they suggest may be a generalisation from combinations with t-bases. The same may be the case for +{lrammiq}V and +{lrajaq}V.
