47.2. Customary -iŋəɬ and habitual -ənəq
| čəníŋəɬ cn. | ‘I planted.’ |
| q̓ʷəyíŋəɬ cn. | ‘I cooked.’ |
| c̓aʔkʷíŋəɬ cn. | ‘I did laundry.’ |
| k̓ʷsə́nəq cn. | ‘I preached.’ |
| pstə́nəq cn. | ‘I’m jealous.’ |
| k̓ʷənəstə́nəq cn. | ‘I’m showing off.’ |
► 1 The first three models show the ‑iŋəɬ suffix, that, for want of a better name, has been called ‘customary.’
► 2 The ‑iŋəɬ suffix attaches to a verb stem to produce a word that refers to a regular, customary activity. The three models with this suffix are typical in that they refer to activities related to work or jobs.
► 3 The ‑iŋəɬ suffix attaches only to intransitive verb stems.
► 4 The ‑ənəq suffix has broader meaning than the -iŋəɬ ‘customary’ suffix. Generally the meaning of ‑ənəq relates to some activity that is typical, regular, or habitual of the subject.
► 5 The fourth model, with ‑ənəq, has an intransitive root meaning ‘advise.’ Adding the suffix makes it ‘preach,’ which can be taken to mean ‘advise habitually’ or ‘advise regularly.’
► 6 Unlike ‑iŋəɬ ‘customary’ and most other suffixes, the ‑ənəq ‘habitual’ can be attached to a transitive or causative stem. Examples of this are shown in the last two models. Identification of the stems in these last two models is left as an exercise.
