yiyiiłtsʼił
edit
Etymology edit
y- (3rd person object prefix) + -yi- (semelfactive) + -∅- (3rd person subject prefix) + -ł- (classifier, causative) + -tsʼił (semelfactive imperfective stem of root -TSʼIL, “to shatter”).
Verb edit
yiyiiłtsʼił
Usage notes edit
Contrary to other semelfactive verbs, this verb doesn't use the same stem throughout its paradigm (perfective is not devoiced as would be expected).
