łikʼaii

Etymology

łi- (adjectival) + -∅- (ni-modal 3rd person subject prefix) + -∅- (classifier) + -kʼaii (neuter imperfective stem of root -KʼAII, “to be fat”).

The łi- prefix appears to have originated historically from the ł- classifier. When this prefix appears immediately in pre-stem position, it takes the shape of a l- classifier.

Verb

łikʼaii

  1. he/she/it is fat, obese

Usage notes

This is a neuter verb that only uses the imperfective stem.
