Description and behaviour

Form and usage:

According to [MFSJLK10], the meaning of this morpheme is 'for the time being' or 'in a while'. The authors suggest it is derived from a combination of +{na}V + +{ɬɬaq}V, although it is not clear why this combination should yield this meaning.

The PE morpheme +{na}V appears to have acquired the form {ga} in PI, or at least have developed this as a side form.
