Etymology[edit]
The first consonant y presumably derives from the final (weak) radical j of a fourth weak verb in contact with the suffix -w, which forms the second consonant of -yw.
Pronunciation[edit]
- (modern Egyptological) IPA(key): /iːuː/
- Conventional anglicization: -yu
Suffix[edit]
|
- Forms the negatival complement of fourth weak verbs.
Usage notes[edit]
The ordinary ending -w for the negatival complement is also used with fourth weak verbs.
