editCircumfix
edit- Forms adverbs with a participle-like meaning from verbs; must be accompanied by an indicator specifying the role of the verb argument to which the participle refers (intransitive argument w-, transitive agent n-, or transitive patient ∅-).
Usage notes
editThis suffix can trigger syllable reduction on the final syllable of the stem; see the notes at -e.
It is unclear if t- -e is best analyzed as an adverbializing circumfix or as a separate unspecified person prefix t- and adverbializing suffix -e.
