Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this affix is 'companion (at doing something)'. The morpheme probably alternates with +{qatə}N when a truncative affix (or any affix?) is added. The authors also speculate that it alternatively might have had the form {*nqan}, with some possible relation to +{ŋqar}V.
