[edit]
Etymology[edit]
łi- (adjectival) + -∅- (ni-modal 3rd person subject prefix) + -∅- (classifier) + -kan (neuter imperfective stem of root -KĄĄD, “to be sweet”).
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.
