Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
The authors of [MFSJLK10] suggest the meaning of this morpheme is 'big', although they are uncertain of the translation. Presumably, if used verbally, the meaning would then be 'greatly' or similar.
They further suggest, that it is from a combination of +{ar}N, and then either +{ɬug}+ or +{tluk}V, but as this element is uncertain, we record it as unknown here.
