The affix -liq- is added to verbs to emphasize that an action is happening right now:
| angirraqtuq | She goes home. |
| angirraliqtuq | She is going home right now. |
When -liq- is added to a root ending in a consonant, it deletes the final consonant:
| aullaq + tuq = |
aullaqtuq | He departs. |
| aullaq + liq + tuq = |
aullaliqtuq | He is departing right now. |
