Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
The authors of [MFSJLK10] define the meaning of this morpheme as 'but ...', probably in the sense of a counterfactual marker. They hypothesise that the first element is from the PI form {ga} of the morpheme +{na}V, and then possibly +{l(l)u(C)ar}V for the second element, although it is not clear how this combination should yield the given meaning.
