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!
