Diving In... (Oops)

I made one little mistake...

  c.. Uiqarumajunnaqtuq "She wants to be able to have a husband." 
  d.. Uiqarunnarumajuq "She is able to want to have a husband." 
  
These two should be reversed. The meaning of the post-bases is cumulative.

Uiqarumajunnaqtuq = Ui-qa[q-j]uma-junnaq-tuq = "husband-have-want-able-(s/he is)" = "She is able
to want to have a husband."
Uiqarunnarumajuq = Ui-qa[q-j]unna[q-j]uma-juq "husband-have-able-want-(s/he is)" = "She wants
to be able to have a husband."

Be well!
